Pete's Playground Cleanup: Community Service

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Club members spent a few hours on Saturday morning, June 15, 2019, enjoying the spring cleanup at our Pete's Playground at Goodwin Court Apartments in Falls Church. This playground was our club's Rotary Centennial Project in 2005, in memory of Past President and Past District Governor Pete Petro.


Thanks to everyone who came out to help -- including Rex Hayes' son Stephen, now a rising sophomore at WVU, and prospective member Lindsey!

Message from Club President Stephanie Arnold  9/5/18
Dear Falls Church Rotarians,
 
I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!  I look forward to seeing everyone at our club meeting tomorrow at Harvest Moon at 6:30pm. We will have a club assembly to discuss our initial plans for the year in the different avenues of service, fundraising, membership, etc.  We’ll keep this a fairly informal discussion over dinner, and look forward to everyone’s input.
 
It’s hard to believe – especially with this heat wave we’re having – that summer is pretty much over now that it’s September.  Did you know that September is Basic Education and Literacy Month on the Rotary calendar?
