Jul. 25, 2019 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
Our Rotary Club will be hosting a joint Rotary After Hours with the Night Club next Thursday, July 25th at the Columbus Riverwalk. There is a Sounds of Summer event featuring Bouncing Betty that evening as well. We will set up at the covered pavillion near the floating pier from 6-7:30pm. I have often found that parking in the grass lot near the entrance to Rueben's provides easy access to this area via a short stroll down the Riverwalk. The club will provide beverages and snacks for members and our guests. There may be boat rides around the island
