Rotary club is collecting crutches for Africa
Castle Rock High Noon Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of Castle
Rock are sponsoring a crutch drive for Crutches4Africa to help
those who have contracted polio or other disabling diseases or who
have sustained injuries.
Rotarian Dave Talbot founded Crutches4Africa after visiting
Africa and seeing first-hand the tremendous need people had. Talbot
contracted polio as a child and has a lot of empathy for folks who
need mobility devices.
