Film fundraiser to fight polio

Murder on the Orient Express will make a premier screening at Matakana Cinemas to help raise funds to cure polio worldwide.

Warkworth Rotary is running the event on November 8, at 6.30pm.

The film features some top stars including Penelope Cruz, Johnny Depp, Judi Dench and Michelle Pfeiffer.Rotary began its programme to eradicate polio, an infectious disease, in 1985 when there were more than 350,000 cases.

Since then, Rotary groups have invested US$1.9 billion and reduced that number to 11 this year.
Warkworth Rotary is hoping to raise $1000.

For every dollar the movie night raises, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will give two dollars to the cause.

The last movie night fundraiser Rotary held raised $1500 towards the Warkworth Foodbank.

Tickets cost $20 and can be purchased from Mahurangi Matters office or Harts Pharmacy.
