Clubs in District 1240 (England) are planning a Purple Pinkie Week with club members visiting schools, colleges, universities, and shopping centers 23 February through 1 March to gain public support for ending polio. Advertisements in major newspapers have been promoting the event, which gets its name from the purple dye applied to a child's little finger during National Immunization Days.
