Q. Are there any specific things we should be doing during Purple Pinkie week or is it up
to each club?
A.
We would like clubs to concentrate on schools and shop fronts/windows. That gives you lots of scope as to how you engage
with and involve your local schools and how you might get the End Polio Now message over in your local shop windows. Over
and above those two activities clubs are welcome to develop their own ideas.
Q. When exactly is Purple
Pinkie week?
A. We anticipate that clubs will concentrate on activities from 20-27 February. But you can of course raise
awareness and funds any time before or after that week.
Q.
Is there a final lunch event ?
A. The District Purple Pinkie Dinner is on 02 March in the evening with our special guest
RIBI President David Fowler. It will be held at the prestigious Boreham House in Chelmsford and tickets are just £21 for a 3 course meal.
Dinner 7.15 for 7.45pm. Beforehand is an optional Champagne Reception. Reserve your tickets now from rotary@kenbuck.co.uk
Q.
Is there any way that we can recognise the efforts of our local schools?
A. Yes - a Certificate of Appreciation, for awarding to schools and pupils, or other organisations will be made available on application. E: stan@graphic-impressions.co.uk
Q. We
note from Purple Pinkie News that materials have been distributed to clubs but we still have t shirts and badges left over from last year.
