Rotarians Work for You

Pat and Chris Doyle purchased this live auction item.  Chris called and is wanting to set up the date and time of the yard work.  We are looking for 10 people so that we may do a good job in a relatively short time.  Please come prepared to this Friday's meeting and volunteer for this hands on experience.  

Chris Doyle said she had us do her yard before and is thinking the end of April.

Thank you
