A notice from Brian Pearson of Broadbeach Rotary Club: this would be worth going to! See PDF flyer in the download section on the right.Dear Friends,
In October 2015 we held our first Sizzle ‘n’ Swing for a polio free world, this event was a complete sellout with everyone enjoying the BBQ dinner plus dessert for a modest $25. The fantastic music of the 40’s to the 60’s provided by the “Chris Restom Swing Group” kept the Broadbeach Rotary Club Hub, humming all evening. We are now offering the same treat on Tuesday 26th April, Chris is bringing along his 5 piece band plus two great singers (also two members of the band singing) to the Broadbeach Rotary Hub once again.
The BBQ promises an enjoyable feed, we will also have a special wine raffle and Rock ‘n’ Roll competition, with all drinks at very modest prices.
I hope you will all circulate this information as widely as possible within your respective clubs and collect a list of those wishing to attend, I need final numbers by Friday 22nd April, tickets will be allocated on a first past the post basis – please don’t let your club miss out.
On a serious note we are definitely winning the battle against this terrible disease with the wild polio virus now only occurring in two endemic countries, with zero outbreaks outside of these. In 2016 up to 13th April, Afghanistan has recorded 2 cases (1 in same period 2015) and Pakistan 8 cases (21 in 2015). Since this disease can only be transmitted from human to human maybe we are in sight of the end. Much work remains in ensuring the continued decline and to avoid reoccurrence, immunisation programmes are happening in many countries at great expense, so our continued fund raising efforts, together with the generosity of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is of great importance.
I thank you for your assistance in this most worthwhile effort.
Best wishes,
Brian.
