Tonight was our Club's Annual Banquet...and our final meeting. Launched in 1991, Daybreak Rotary leaves an incredible 35-year Legacy of Service. But, as our president said, "All good things must come to an end." Like many service and civic organizations, Rotary is struggling to recruit and retain young members, due to a cultural shift in community volunteerism.
To honor the Club's Legacy, we have proposed the construction of a Reading Circle at Zephyr Park, and donated $16,500 seed money for the project to the City, inspired by our Literacy Committee's monthly "Reading in the Park" sessions over the past 5 years. Attached is a concept image of the mini-amphitheater and the presentation of the funds to City Manager Billy Poe & CRA Director Gail Hamilton.
