It is with great sadness we report the passing of our past president John Parkhouse, whose dedication to the club and whose leadership will be difficult to replace.
John had been a member of Southampton West Rotary Club since 1975, he and Chrissie have been a formidable team. Our thoughts are with Chrissie and family at this sad time.
A Memorial Service was held April 5th at Southampton Crematorium .

Polio News
PURPLE for POLIO PLUS
Children Plant 1,000 Crocus Corms
at Portswood Recreational Park
The Crocus corms planted by the children at Portswood Primary School, cubs and friends of the Rec; highlight Rotary's fight to eliminate Polio Worldwide
Why Purple Crocus?
Purple is the colour of
the dye put onto
children's fingers
when they
have been
vaccinated
against Polio.
Rotary initially started the 'PolioPlus' project in 1985, Since then, they with their partners, have reduced the 350,000 cases of Polio detected annually, to less than 50 cases in two countries.
