World Polio Day, 24th October

Since 1983 Rotary International has been leading efforts to eradicate Polio world wide. So far £100 M has been donated by Rotary to this cause and Bill Gates has matched this amount.   The success of the project can be judges by the fact that last year there were less than 60 new cases reported (all in Afghanistan and Pakistan).   Purple is the colour adopted for this campaign and so our Church hopes to show purple lights during the week beginning 19th October. Many other Churches in the area will be making a similar gesture.   For more information go to www.myrotary.org
