Welcome to Rotary Voices of Kerrville, the podcast series that shines a spotlight on the Rotary Club of Kerrville, Texas—a club with a rich history of community service, leadership, and dedication. For nearly 100 years, the Rotary Club of Kerrville has been at the heart of initiatives that make a real difference, both locally and globally. Through this podcast, we’ll be exploring the club’s incredible projects, hearing from its inspiring members, and learning about the values that drive their commitment to “Service Above Self.”

In this inaugural episode, host Tom Fox visits with Kristy Vandenberg about her leadership in Rotary’s fight against the international scourge of polio.

The discussion focuses on the Rotary Club of Kerrville’s part in the Rotary International’s fight to help eradicate polio from the globe. Kristy underlines the significance of vaccines in preventing viral diseases, noting that many people might not be aware of their continued relevance due to the effectiveness of the vaccines. We discuss our concerns about the virus, suggesting a broader need for awareness as it remains a pressing issue globally. The Pints, Pumpkins, and Pies event is at the Dietrich Center, on October 24, 2024, from 5-7 PM. It aims to address these ongoing considerations and educate people on the subject.
