Film “Ride Like a Girl” – fundraiser for World Polio Day
No meeting this week as members were attending a special showing of “Ride Like a Girl” at the Tivoli Theatre. Everyone who attended really enjoyed the movie and the theatre was packed, with overflow into another theatre. Confirmation next week but the amount raised for Polio Plus was around $700. Well done Rotary Cambridge and thanks to Ted Mason for organising.
World Polio Day – window display
A very impressive window display was mounted in Paper Plus to promote World Polio Day and Polio Plus. Thanks to those who did the display and to Hamish Wright of PaperPlus for his willingness to let us have the space.
