Richard Digance, singer, comedian and star of TV recently showed his
support for Purple Pinkie by writing a special poem. Read the poem in class, in the office or at any club event and
see how many £1s you can collect. Find the poem on the page called, believe it or not, Richard Digance Poem
And what about supporting The Blues - Southend United who are using their Division 1 match against Walsall on 23rd
March (following the original snowed off date) to support Purple Pinkie - even down to wearing special purple team strip and
having a purple programme. Never been to a football match? Well now's the perfect opportunity. Support the blues and support
Purple Pinkie! For tickets, wristbands and further information visit www.southendonsearotary1240.org Special prices for concessions and schools.
Tescos have designated many of their stores for collecting for the End Polio Now campaign on Saturday 27th
February. There are 8 stores in our District and full details will appear later but you can be sure that Purple will be very
much in evidence on the day with displays, collection buckets and special events.
Another novel idea. The Purple
Pinkie pint. Brainchild of the Rotary Club of Braintree Rivers with the assistance of Felstar Brewery. Already over 800 bottles
of the specially brewed beer have been sold and another order is being produced. Just £2.50 per bottle of which at least
£1 will go to Purple Pinkie. To order contact Chris on 01376 339333.
Other information
can be found on www.thanksforlife.org which is the banner under which RIBI is promoting the End Polio Now campaign.
