Welcome to the award-winning The Hill Country Podcast. The Texas Hill Country is one of the most beautiful places on earth. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with the people and organizations that make these the most unique areas of Texas. Join Tom as he explores the people, places, and activities of the Texas Hill Country. Kristy Vandenberg, the organizer of the Kerrville Rotary Club’s upcoming fundraiser, Pints, Pumpkins, and Pies for Polio, joins me in this episode.
Kristy Vandenberg, originally from Holland, Michigan, is a devoted member of the Rotary Club with a solid commitment to community service. She has a particular perspective on the Rotary Club’s fundraising event for polio eradication, viewing it as a crucial cause that requires attention. Kristy notes that while many in the United States may not consider polio a pressing issue, the Rotary has been actively working to eradicate the disease since 1985. She emphasizes raising funds for vaccinations, particularly for children under six who are most susceptible to the disease. Kristy takes pride in her club’s efforts, including the upcoming Pints Pumpkins and Pies fundraising event, and firmly believes in the Rotary’s potential to impact the fight against polio significantly. Join Tom Fox and Kristy Vandenberg on this episode of the Hill Country Podcast to learn more about this important cause.
