All For Charity
Tuesday 26th October 7.00pm
New Plymouth West Rotary Club invites you to The Good Home for an evening which will focus on laughter and teamwork more than intellect.
While our club supports many other local needs, this event will also be raising funds for our ongoing support of Rotary’s “End Polio Now” campaign. Rotary’s challenge now is to eradicate the wild poliovirus in the two countries where the disease has never been stopped - Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Routine immunizations must also be strengthened in Africa to keep the virus from returning there.
Rotary has contributed more than $2.1 billion to polio eradication since it launched the PolioPlus program in 1985, and it is committed to raising $50 million each year for polio eradication activities. Because of a 2-to-1 matching agreement with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation each year, $150 million goes toward fulfilling Rotary’s promise to the children of the world: No child will ever again suffer the devastating effects of polio.
The Good Home provides the venue free of charge so all funds go to our chosen projects.
They have also offered 3 prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place, (there must be a reason they call themselves The Good Home), plus a plate of sausage rolls for each team.
You may also choose to eat there prior to the quiz which starts at 7:00pm
So Round up Your Best Brains - go find that friend that always seems to know lots of trivial information…..it is their time to shine! Make up a team of about 6 friends, family or workmates and come along for a fun evening.
Each person in the team pays $10, with all of this money going directly towards helping Rotary projects.
Please reply to Ian Smiley with numbers as soon as possible:
