We are pleased to announce that for the first time District 7040 is joining with other Canadian districts at an End Polio Now tulip campaign which will run from June 15th until the end of July. These specially bred “End Polio Now” tulips come from Holland and will be distributed to Rotary clubs in Canada by Vesey Seeds of PEI. Unfortunately, due to border restrictions delivery is not possible to our American clubs currently.
The tulips come in boxes of 25 bulbs and sell for $25, all taxes and delivery included. All profits (last year amounting to $13 per box sold) will be donated to Polio Plus and this money will count towards your club’s Polio Plus goal and will generate Paul Harris points, calculated on how many boxes your club sells. We only have 400 boxes available this year, so first come first served, and since the bulbs are shipped 6 boxes to a case it would be appreciated if your orders are for full cases only. Payment is required at the time of ordering. Delivery will occur in mid-September, just in time for planting, and will come directly to a nominated contact person at each club who will be responsible for onward delivery to your local supporters.
