District Governor, Stephen Lay said: “We are delighted that the Trewithen Dairy has joined us to help finally eradicate polio from the world. The bottles have large enough necks to fit most coins, so we hope to collect a significant amount of money.”
Rotarians have been asked to fill their bottles with loose change and have four months to raise as much money as possible before it is collected for World Polio Day on 24 October.
