Rotarians Allen Hilton, Dan McArthur, Jim Coleman, Reed Noble, Grant Carter, Sam McArthur, Bill Fowler, Richard Isom, Grant Carter, Jeff Morby and Linda Sappington gave up a portion of their Saturday, October 24 to "Make A Difference" at the St. George skate park, also known as SK8 George Park. When the dust had settled, 23 trees had been positioned along the road and many shrubs had been planted at the entrance around the beautiful new Rotary SK8 Park sign.Make-A-Difference Day is one of several national service days held annually in communities all over the United States. Held on the last Saturday of October every year since 1990, Make-A-Difference Day is an opportunity for Americans of every age and interest to do good in their community. Other national service days include Martin Luther King / Civil Rights Day (the third Monday in January), Global Youth Service Day (either Saturday during April’s National Volunteer Week), Join Hands Day (in late May or early June), DoGood Day (September 11 since 2001 in memory of those who died in the attack on America) . . . and Family Volunteer Day, the next opportunity to join in a national volunteer initiative (held annually on the Saturday before Thanksgiving).
Thanks, once again, for your willingness to give "service above self" in the community. Watch for information about National Family Volunteer Day on Saturday, November 21.
