What have we been up to?

Focus on the Crocus – End Polio Now!

John Gibson welcomed everyone to the bulb planting by explaining that the bulbs will flower in time for Rotary Day 23 February 2011 – many events will be held worldwide on that day to raise funds to match the billions that have been donated by Bill and Melissa Gates.  The money goes to End Polio Now, part of the Thanks for Life project.  The aim is to eradicate polio from the world, we’re nearly there and hope that this is the last push that will get rid of the scourge of polio forever.

The photos show many Vigornians, including President Celia Gardner, planting bulbs alongside Cecil Duckworth, the Mayor and Mayoress of Worcester, and Oliver Tomaszczyk, nickname: Tomahawk of Worcester Warriors, position: tighthead prop.

Thanks to all for your efforts – keep it up!  Everyone involved is wishing for all the bulbs to flower next year and for many years thereafter.
