Purple Ribbons
You know when you see a pink ribbon, it is support of breast cancer survivors, and when you see a yellow ribbon, it is in support of our troops. The Board of Directors of Polio Outreach of Washington as recently agreed to adopt the color purple ribbon to be representative of Polio Survivors and their Supporters. Our office manager, Lois Barber and her husband Stan have done all the research into obraining ribbons for us. There are two available: one with gold lettering for polio survivors and the other with white lettering for polio supporters. The ribbons are for sale for $4.00 each. You may contact Lois at the office phone 1-800-609-5538 or by e-mail at poliooutreach.wa@gmail.com. There is an illustration of the ribbons in the Spring 2010 issue of the newsletter. Additional research is being done to obtain magnetic ribbons for cars, scooters, wheelchairs etc.
