Rotarians Lee Sheets, Kurt Johnson, Allen Hilton, Nick Lang, Linda Sappington and Ray Robinson gave up a portion of their Saturday to join forces with members of the Rotaract Club at Dixie State College, AmeriCorps members Angie, Sheena and Billie, members of the Youth Volunteer Corps of Washington County and nine Rotary foreign exchange students on April 25 to spread 15 cubic feet of redwood mulch at the entrance to the Rotary SK8 Park.
The event was a little late for Earth Day (Wed, April 22), but perfectly timed to kick off National Volunteer Week (April 27 - May 3) and to celebrate Global Youth Service Day (Saturday, April 25), a day set aside in 1993 to recognize the contribution of youth volunteers to meeting the needs of every community! Mother Nature cooperated, delivering a cooler-than-usual late April day for the first of many service projects planned at the 2-acre, city owned and managed SK8 Park. Mark your calendar and watch for more service opportunities on National Make-A-Difference Day (Saturday, October 24) and National Family Volunteering Day (Saturday, November 21).
