ROTARIANS will celebrate their 106th anniversary with a display of pictures and spring bulbs.
A photographic display by Church and Oswaldtwistle Rotary Club is on view at Oswaldtwistle Library showing bulb planting with primary schoolchildren as part of the Thanks for Life campaign.
Last October the club teamed up with schools and park officers to plant 32,000 crocus bulbs in the borough to create a blaze of colour to mark their anniversary and Rotary Day.
The Ruby Giant ‘purple’ crocus represents the dye dabbed on children’s little fingers worldwide to show they have been immunised against polio.
Aslam Mohammed, Church and Oswaldtwistle Rotary Club President, said: “It will be just wonderful to see the bulbs burst into life and is a reminder to everyone that Rotary made a commitment to eradicate polio.
We are grateful to people and schoolchildren who got their hands dirty last year.”
