15/11/10….1,000 crocuses planted in Thame in aid of END POLIO NOW
THE Rotary Club of Thame planted 1,000 Crocuses at the Moats, Lea Park in Thame, on Saturday (November 13). The work was carried out by members and partners of the Rotary Club of Thame. Some of the crocus bulbs were planted in the shape of the letters “END POLIO NOW”.
Rotary Clubs in Great Britain and Ireland have been working to plant purple crocus bulbs from the beginning of October so that they will be in flower for Rotary Day ? 23rd February 2011. These purple flowers represent the colour of ink dabbed on a child?s little finger to indicate that they have been immunised against polio.
The Rotary Club of Thame is grateful to the Thame Town Council who approved the use of the Moats for planting the crocus bulbs.
