crocus order form - Rotary Clubs (May2023)
crocus order form - Community Groups (May2023)
The Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland Polio Team have secured 2 million crocus corms which can be ordered at the price of £175 for a box of 4,000. These will be sold on a first come first served basis and if more can be secured it is expected that the price will rise. The absolute deadline for orders is 18th August 2023. This year we have two types of crocus and you can state your preference on the form. Other details are explained on the order form. Crocuses will be delivered to our district polio team in September and then distributed to clubs.
The aim of the crocuses is to raise awareness and raise funds for the End Polio Now campaign. Let's continue this project for an EIGHTH YEAR!!
Visit the Crocuses in Bloom around the District page to see the results of our planting in the Spring of 2017.
And for more information about the ongoing Rotary GB&I campaign visit the Rotary GB&I Purple4Polio pages where you will find useful resources including briefing notes and logos, and a Purple Menu full of ideas for your club.
