On Saturday, June 21, the Rotary-in-Action committee wrapped up our joint project with the Keep LJ Beautiful (KLJB) Commission at the Lake Jackson Butterfly Garden. We had a great turnout & managed to finish up by 1 pm. In addition to
sprucing up the sign, we moved it to the entrance of the municipal chipping
yard, mixing (by hand) 32 bags of concrete for the new hole.

Thanks go out to our attendees:

David Landsborough – especially for all the prep work in advance of Saturday

Ricky Hyde

Donna Jackson

Perry Mueller

Norman Wood

Lucy Pendon

Debby Soltesz

Mike Strobel

Austin Strobel – concrete mixer extraordinaire
