The Sun-Post featured Golden Valley Rotary for 25 years of Adopt-a-Highway participation. "A highway cleanup is no glamorous endeavor, but the group has been doing it routinely as part of the Adopt-A-Highway program since 1996," the article credited.

'We’re kind of like the postal service here, neither rain nor sleet,' joked Rotarian Betsy Anderson.

After the work was finished, the Rotarians warmed up at Doolittles Woodfire Grill. Anderson marveled that so many of her fellow club members continue to feel a sense of responsibility to the highway, though most were not in the club when it opted into the Adopt-A-Highway program. “It has lived on beyond the people that started it,” she said.
