As a Club, we recently provided a grant to the Sunshine Children's Homes/Sunshine Communities for $2,000. This grant helped them purchase playground tiles, picnic tables, benches, and a playhouse. Way To Go Rotarians!
Last Saturday we had the opportunity to join together in service and help construct, paint, and complete the playground for their residents.
We are delighted to be able to partner with Sunshine Communities and help bring joy and excitement to their families!

Rotarians Susan Nelson, Jeff Normand, and Bob Venzel all collaborated to construct two featured articles for publication. We could not be more proud of fellow Rotarians and Friends and the projects we are continuing to work on throughout the country.
It is an honor to serve beside some of the best Rotarians in the world and to make a difference not only locally but globally.
Last week we welcomed guest speakers Brandy Wimberly and Nicole LeBoutillier from the Glass City River Wall.
The Glass City River Wall is an urban art project that came to fruition because of a dream among friends while on a boating on the Maumee River.
Gabe Gault, from Los Angeles, is the artist of this amazing mural and is collaborating with several local artists from Toledo and Detroit make this project come to life. Mr. Gault's vision will tell a story of the Native American women and children who worked the land by the ADM silos.
Keep your eyes open while traveling north over the Maumee River to watch this magnificent project come to life.
