On April 13th, our guest speaker is Bob Mutchler, Author and Rotary Foundation advocate for Cures of Polio.

Bob Mutchler, or Motorcycle Bob, as he is known in Rotary and to the media around the world, has been riding his motorcycle with the sole goal of raising awareness of The Rotary Foundation and, more specifically, of PolioPlus since 1998. He has ridden to every state capitol in the United States, every Canadian provincial capitol, every Australian state capitol, and many other riding events on his motorcycle in order to bring about more public awareness of PolioPlus. He has been featured on network television, talk radio, newspapers, and magazines as he expresses the message of PolioPlus and The Rotary Foundation. Bob continues to be a featured media attraction two or more times every month somewhere around the world.

Bob has been a featured speaker in Africa, England, Holland, Australia, Canada, and the United States. He has also been a keynote speaker at District Conferences and PETS in Africa, Canada, and the United States. He has received numerous awards and Legislative Proclamations.

Bob is married to Patti and has four children and four grandchildren. He currently serves as a Folsom City Utilities Commissioner and just published his book From Iron Lung to Iron Butt co-written with author Lynda Lahman with all the proceeds going to PolioPlus, Rotary International’s program to eradicate polio from the earth. In his spare time, he is a successful, fourth generation piano tuner/technician who plays keyboards and sings in the local rock and roll band, “Have Mercy,” when he is not riding his motorcycle. More information at www.polioplusride.org, and www.nopolio.org.
