With 23 February 2023 being Rotary's 118th anniversary, plan a tea party to celebrate, and raise funds for the Rotary Foundation Polio Fund at the same time!

Article by Nauman Abbasi, District 9560 Polio Chair 

Rotary District 9560 is inviting clubs across the District to hold an End Polio fundraising Tea Party during February to celebrate Rotary's birthday and challenges other clubs across the Zone to do the same!

Some ideas to help with contributions to the Rotary Foundation Polio Fund:

• Partner with a local bakery / donut shop / café and ask them to give a profit percentage on that date whilst you promote their business locally.
• Designate a regular club meeting as the Tea Party - skip the ordinary meal, ask your members to bring a share plate and donate the meal cost to help End Polio.
• Organise a wonderful cake and sell raffle tickets or guess the weight of the cake.
• Ask for a $10 minimum donation per member and give the cake to the highest contributor or have the cake as a lucky door prize.

Come up with ideas to amaze but please donate as the children are counting on us!

Don't just have a tea party: tell everyone about it! Take photos of your party, post them on your club's Facebook page and tag Rotary District 9560 Northern Australia and Timor-Leste. 

Let's have a series of Rotary birthday tea parties across the Zone during February!
