Newtonhill Primary raise £500 for Polio Plus

As part of the club's contribution to Polio Plus, members Alistair and Anne McNair collected a cheque for £500 form the P5s at Newtonhill Primary School. As part of an enterprise project, the class learned about Rotary's hopes of eradicating polio in the four remaining countries. They... organised a Purple Pinkie day for the whole school, and also a Bear's Birthday competition. Well done P5s!
