Students in Live Oak recently had the opportunity to join in the worldwide effort to eradicate polio in a big way. Through the Purple Pinkie Project, students and sponsors had a way to contribute to Rotary International's Polio Eradication Fund. The fund enables Rotary to purchase polio immunizations for children in polio endemic countries. (Check out global progress at www.polioeradication.org.
On Friday, Dec. 5, members of the Rotary Club of Live Oak and members of the Suwannee High School Interact Club visited all the schools in Live Oak. When a child put $1 in the Purple Pinkie Bucket, his or her pinkie was painted with Gentian Violet as a symbol of one child immunized from polio. Of course, more than one finger was painted if more than $1 is donated.
