GET INVOLVED
We invite all phytologists, landscape architects, and gardening enthusiasts to join our Club's District 5280 Grant Service Project. This project will be conducted in three phases, each of which is crucial to the beautification of the Para Los Niños Middle School in Downtown Los Angeles.
Phase One:
5:30PM on April 10 - Zoom
We seek the expertise of a landscaping architect or an equivalent professional to lead a team of DTLA Rotary volunteers in the design process.
Phase Two:
10AM on April 19 - TBD
This phase will involve buying all necessary plants, tools, and shrubs needed for the project.
Phase Three:
10AM on April 26th - PLN
The final phase will be the on-site implementation of the service project at PLN Middle School. For security reasons, the number of volunteers must be limited to fifteen.
For participation and inquiries, please contact the service project manager and our resolute Rotaractor, Max Amor.
