Thank you to all the Rotarians who attended the dedication of the Little Free Library at Martha Weiss Park on May 4th. We had a great representation, including District Governor Designate Lyle Staab! This project was funded by our club, and we partnered with Junior Girl Scout Troop 41329 from Prairie Elementary School. The Scouts, led by Prairie art teacher Christopher Morris, painted the little library in the theme of native plants and butterflies because of the butterfly garden located in the park. They, as well as club Rotarians, donated books for the little library. It was a perfect day for the dedication!
