Members of Llanelli Rotary Club carried out bucket collections at Llanelli's Tesco superstore last week as part of the service organisation's 'Thanks for Life - End Polio Now' appeal.
Over two days, the Rotarians raised 900.

The collections were timed to mark 'Rotary Day-Thanks for Life', an annual RIBI project set up to highlight and celebrate the humanitarian work of Rotarians. Its number one aim is to help eradicate polio throughout the world.Now in its third year, Thanks for Life saw clubs and members across Great Britain and Ireland organising activities on and around 23rd February (Rotary Day) - the anniversary of the first Rotary meeting in Chicago more than 100 years ago - to raise awareness and understanding of Rotary in their community and maximise donations to The Rotary Foundation to assist polio eradication.
