New Rotary Shirt fabric sourced in Zimbabwe After much hard work on the part of Zambian and Zimbabwean Rotarians Margaret & Sandy Whitehead, no relation and PADG Barbara Murasiranna,a source hasbeen to make the new fabric. All Zambian cloth manufactures are not functioning at the moment and haven’t for seven months & there is no light at the end of the tunnel, so Zimbabwe here we come. The new Zim-Zam Rotary shirt fabric is pictured at left. Local Zambian artist, Chansa Chishimba who designed the first shirt agreed to do our new one. The shirt will be debut for sale at the Bangkok convention. Limited numbers of the original are still available thru Bob.
