FLOWERING AGAIN IN WHITLEY BAY
World Polio Day will be taking place in the autumn of 2020. To mark this occasion Whitley Bay Rotary Club has again purchased and distributed over 4000 purple crocus bulbs, planting over 1,000 bulbs in the gardens of the Earsdon Grange Care Home, Whitley Bay.
This was to mark and support Rotary Internationals ‘Purple 4 Polio Day’, a national Rotary planting project which has been taking place all over Europe since 2016.
All the monies raised to purchase the crocus bulbs will help to fund the vaccination costs world-wide.
Past President Brian Royce explained; "Fighting polio has been International Rotary's main humanitarian focus for over thirty years. We are now within reach of eradicating the disease completely and to date over 2.5 billion children worldwide have been vaccinated.
The purple crocus bulb has been chosen because it highlights the colour of the marker dye applied as an indicator to the little finger of each vaccinated child.’’
