(remember our 5th Rotary Rule!!)... We've completed the grant for the matching funds for our Ready Springs Elementary School Garden...Gordon has finished a prototype planter box, it was approved by Principal Chrissy...so as soon as we are approved for the matching funds from the district, we'll be working on planter boxes, compost piles, collecting tools, installing tool shed, etc... Remember to make your contribution to the Rotary International Foundation, for whatever amount...we are not billing for it this year, so please make a contribution in any amount...we receive funds back after three years to help with District Grants - and our club benefits from the matching grants... that's it for now...Stay safe, healthy and PURPLE!!
