Join us to celebrate Bob Marley's life and the sad Melanoma disease that took him so early at the age of 36. ALL ARE WELCOME!!!

Our video presentation was built by Steve Fine, founder and president of the Melanoma Education Foundation, who attended colleges in the Boston area and received a doctorate in chemistry from Northeastern University. He then moved to Pennsylvania, completing a year of postdoctoral research at Lehigh University. After 5 years as an assistant professor of organic chemistry at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, he moved back to New England, where he served in technical and management positions in high-tech chemical companies.

In 1989, he started a consulting practice in the technology of high-purity chemical manufacturing, concurrently serving for 3 years as Vice President of Technology for ACSI, a West Coast manufacturer of semiconductor chemicals.

Shortly after his son, Dan, died of melanoma in 1998 at the age of 26, he founded the non-profit Melanoma Education Foundation and, since 2000, has devoted full time to the Foundation.

The primary activity of the Foundation is educating high school and middle school wellness educators about melanoma and providing them with free online lessons to educate their students about self-detecting melanoma while it is curable. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, over 1700 schools in all 50 U.S. states and Canada were using the lessons, resulting in saved lives of students, teachers, and their loved ones.

CLUB MEMBERS: Currently, club members are encouraged to update their photo and profile at?rotary.org.

An accurate profile helps Rotary clubs and leaders recognize your skills, interests, and contributions, allowing for better engagement in service projects.
