ST ANDREWS Rotarians are putting their shoulders to the wheel in a final push to eradicate polio once and for all.
Rotary International has earmarked Tuesday, February 23, as 'Thanks for Life ' day and asked all Rotary clubs to concentrate their fundraising efforts around that date.
And the two Rotary Clubs in St Andrews (St Andrews and St Andrews Kilrymont) have risen to the challenge and arranged a wide range of fund-raising events.
In particular, Madras College, its 18 associated primary schools and St Leonards School, St Andrews, have all agreed to raise money to help their efforts.
A variety of fundraising events will be arranged and any pupil who contributes to the cause will have their pinkie marked with purple ink, a similar identification to that which the children in under-developed countries are given when they receive the oral immunisation.
