In honor of International Women’s Day (recognized globally on March 8th) we encourage you to wear the color purple to our March 10^th luncheon. While in Rotary the color purple is traditionally known for our Polio vaccination campaign, it also one of the original colors of the suffragette and women’s rights movement and symbolizes “justice, dignity, and visionary thinking”.
