A Black Tie Summer Ball and Auction is being held by the Rotary Club of Conwy Valley at the St George’s Hotel, Llandudno on the evening of 7th July 2017.
The charity event includes a drinks reception, three course menu choice with wine, a charity auction, raffle, and DJ, all for £55.00 per person.
Importantly, all funds raised will go towards the eradication of polio globally.
Janet Finch-Saunders, Assembly Member for Aberconwy said:
“This is a landmark year for the Rotary Club of the Conwy Valley as it is in its 70th year. Yes, for almost three-quarters of a century the club has selflessly given to the communities of the Conwy Valley and contributed to eradicating Polio globally.
“I was reminded at a meeting of the club’s global impact: since 1979 Rotary and its partners have reduced polio by 99.9% worldwide.
“Amazingly, the Rotary Clubs of the United Kingdom and Ireland have so far donated over £20 million to End Polio Now, inoculating more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries.
“A final financial push is needed to tackle the disease in Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, so Mr Kevin Rowlands and the Purple4Polio Ball & Auction committee have organised this fantastic event.
“Every penny raised in the Ball and Auction will be trebled by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, so it is really important that as many of us as possible buy tickets and bid on the night”.
Mr Kevin Rowlands, Chair of the Purple4Polio Ball & Auction committee said:
“For over 30 years Rotary Clubs worldwide have been working together towards the eradication of Polio across the globe. From over 125 polio-endemic countries to now just 3, there is still a lot of work to be done.
“The theme supporting Rotary’s polio-eradication campaign has been a purple lapel worn crocus and the logo, Purple4Polio.
“With fundraising still needed to finally complete the worldwide eradication of Polio, the Club is hosting a Summer Ball and Auction on Friday 7th July 2017.
“The ball is set to dazzle Llandudno with a marvellous sparkling wine reception, three course meal, and entertainment, all for £55 per person.
“On behalf of the Club, I would like to thank all individuals and businesses that have donated and supported this event already.
“To buy tickets, please call 01492 680304 or e-mail [email protected]”
