Rotary's polio campaign message is blossoming
In countries without comprehensive health care systems, the vaccinating teams (mainly Rotarians) dip the fingers of all children who they vaccinate into a pot of purple dye (hence the purple crocus) so that those not vaccinated can easily be spotted.
To assist the Rotary Club of Amble & Warkworth, Lords of Alnwick generously sponsored the crocus planting on Rotary Way (between Warkworth and Amble) in 2017.
