The major community project was replacing the Gazebo on the Canfield Green. Funds were
raised with the help of donations from businesses and members of the community. The new
gazebo is now large enough to serve as a stage for a community band. Lighting and a sound
system make the gazebo complete. A dedication is planned for May.

vaccine. Rotary International has contributed $10 billion, with an additional $1.2 billion from
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
