At the Feb. 13 weekly meeting of Kiwanis Club of Tryon, the special guest speakers were members Lee Cobourn and Cam Lawrence. Cobourn and Lawrence are heading up a special Kiwanis project to help eliminate maternal neonatal tetanus worldwide. The International Kiwanis Eliminate Project has already eliminated maternal neonatal tetanus in dozens of countries since 2000 but has remaining countries that need help. Vaccinations costing $1.80 will protect one mother and all her future babies from this terrible disease. (photo submitted by Sue Watson)
