To District Club Presidents, President Elects and Club Secretary Hello Stewart Shouldice, Well spring is on its way! Thank you for your recent feedback about your club’s level of interest in participating in the End Polio Now Tulip Polio project. We have firmed up some more details and I’m happy to share them with you. Joan Fisher has kindly agree to take on the role of Rotary Tulip Co-Ordinator for our district. Our District 6330 will be receiving a shipment of 500 boxes of tulips in early October. The tulips will retail for $25.00/box of 25 bulbs. The sales of tulips will commence in late May (date still to be determined) and conclude on July 31st (or sooner if we sell out). We are asking for each Club who is willing to sell tulips to assign one Club member in advance to act as Tulip Captain (job description is forthcoming) for your Club and to provide Joan with the contact information (name, phone no., email, and your club name). Joan's contact information is below. Please reach out to Joan by April 10th. Order forms and poster (sample attached) can be circulated when tulip sales commence.
Your Club will receive a minimum of $14/box for tulips sold to be allocated to End Polio. It may be more than this quote, but is dependent on the shipping costs from Nova Scotia to London. A member of the Rotary Global Passport Club, Betty Dore, will keep track of sales. Feel free to email/call Joan Fisher if you have any questions: 519-432-3954. sinkpolio@rogers.com. In some communities, Rotary Clubs are planning to purchase these tulips and plant them in civic gardens. Something your Club might like to consider.
