Crocuses planted in memory of Keith Sanderson

Rhyl Rotarians planted hundreds of purple crocuses in the grounds of St Bridget’s Church, Dyserth in memory of Rotarian Keith Sanderson, Paul Harris Fellow and Past President.

Keith joined the Rotary Club of Rhyl fifty years ago and was a valued member throughout this time. Whilst he enjoyed the fellowship and was a skilled raconteur he was committed to the ideal of ‘Service above Self’.

His practical support during the Towyn Floods was just one of dozens of ways in which he served the local and international community. He was one of the first to volunteer for supermarket collections even when he suffered with health and mobility problems.

Thus it was considered fitting that the crocuses should provide a memorial to Keith as well publicising Rotary International’s commitment to global polio eradication. The photo shows Keith’s wife, Freda, surveying the crocuses near the explanatory sign.
