With the submission of the District 5240 Matching Grant Final Report, this year’s Bike Rack project is now complete. All toll, eleven racks were installed this year; nine along Balsam Street in “Old Town” and two at the Splash Pad next to City Hall. In addition to that, eleven bicycles and gear purchased by Rotarians, and through other donations, were given to eleven deserving youth in our community. What an amazing project and a beautiful expression of Doing Good in the World.
The cost of the Racks alone came to $4,990. With a matching grant of $2,456 from Rotary District 5240, the cost to the club was reduced to $2,534. The matching grant funds were derived from a portion of the donations to the Rotary International Foundation made by our club members three years ago.
