Purple Pinkies to fight Polio...

 

At a recent discussion of the work of the Rotary Foundation Bill Maule chatted about polio eradication.  Then he passed it over to Clint who told all of us to paint both pinkies purple to represent it.  Apparently when groups are vaccinating many children around the world, they dip the child's pinky in gentian violet, a very purple substance, so they keep track of who has and has not been vaccinated. Now if someone asks why the purple pinkies, it's an opening to tell about R's goal.
