A bid for Polio

I have secured a $5 note from Mt. Victoria Rotary Club to be put up for auction at the official opening function of College Street Normal School for the new hall and auditorium.  The school has received immense support from local charities in the building of these new facilities and as a result the Board of Trustees has agreed to donate the funds raised from the sale of the Ed Hillary signed note to Rotary for Polio Plus.

The auction is on Saturday night (26 March) and should any Rotarians wish to place a bid, I am happy to take bids on behalf of Rotarians that are not able to be present.

I have had significant involvement in this project over the last two and half years and am delighted that the Board recognises other organisations that endeavour to take on such an ambitious project.  The school are considering having a Polio awareness session within the school which will be great for Rotary's exposure to young minds and their parents. 

I would appreciate it if you could include this in your blog and my contact details (027 240 9320) for any people that wish to bid.

Many thanks.
Regards
Scott
