    Previous Week's Speaker: Barbara Collins, Development Associate, of Easter Seals


    The speaker was Barbara Collins, Development Associate, of Easter Seals introduced by Don Bedell.
    The topic was the History between Rotary and Easter Seals.
    Easter Seals was founded by Rotarians to provide services for children with disabilities. Rotary International is one of Easter Seals largest contributors.
    The organization was started in 1919 by Paul Harris and Edgar Allen as the International Society for Crippled Children. Both Mr. Harris and Mr. Allen were successful businessmen who believed that "Success Involves Responsibility". Mr. Harris' vision was to create a network of service clubs which became Rotary. When Mr. Allen's young son was injured in an accident, he vision became the desire to help children with disabilities. He turned to Rotary and with their help the Society for Crippled Children was created.
    Mr. Harris and Mr. Allen were the co-authors of the 1930 Children's Bill of Rights. Both men were honored in the fall of 2005 with The Extra Mile National Volunteer Pathway.
    State College's Easter Seals Child Development Center is integrated with children with disabilities and with typical children. "Children learn to look at children as children." Funding comes from Rotary, United Way, private donations and special events.

    Respectfully submitted by Judy Myrick
