importance so as to adequately mark the 100th anniversary of the Club's history in Beaumont. It proved to be a difficult task, as dozens of proposals and ideas were presented for consideration. But, a difficult task seemed to become easier and easier as the concept became clearier to all involved. The project had to have a far-reaching impact on our community. It had to stand the test of time and be an enduring part of the area. It had to bring people together and be a gift of great importance to all.
Thus, the Centennial Project became crystal clear: we would build and gift to the city a Beaumont Rotary Centennial Playground - unrestricted, boundless, inclusive, barrier-free. All terms meaning it will be a playground like no other in the area. It will be a gathering place for everyone, regardless of challenge, ability, gender, age, or ethinicity.
Follow along as the concept becomes a reality, as the idea takes shape and the dream becomes the Beaumont Rotary Centennial Playground.
