OPENING OF POLIO PHOTO EXHIBITION

A momentous week for District 1230 in Scotland came to a climax last night with the opening of the Full Circle Polio Photo Exhibition in Scotland. District Governor Catherine Stewart opened the exhibition with an inspiring speech on Rotary's work to eliminate polio over the past twenty years.

The Exhibition is taking place in the foyer of the Mitchell Library in Glasgow. The Exhibition is open to the public from now until the 4th March.

Among those attending were members of the Pakistani and Indian Communities in Scotland. The exhibition was made possible by the kind donation of the Mitchell Library by the Lord Provost of the City of Glasgow.

RI Director Gordon McInally attended accompanied by his wife Heather, RIBI President Nominee Jim Moulson, District Governor Catherine Stewart and her husband Jim and Past District Governor Drew Hughes.

More than one hundred invited Rotarians and guests attended the opening.

Within the last seven days this District started the "beaming" of the 'End Polio Now' campaign throughout the world by lighting up three sites in the West of Scotland, The City Chambers in Glasgow , Culzean Castle and the iconic Greenock Town Hall on the River Clyde.
