On March 24th several Pal-Mac Rotarians got together at Mark and Kim Clement's house to construct wheelchair accessible picnic tables for their District simplified Grant project. The group met at 10am and were done by 4pm. The result was five beautiful but very heavy picnic tables to be donated to parks in both Macedon and Palmyra as well as the Wayne County Fairgrounds. Workers included Gary Hopkins, the Clements, Bob Sloan, Bob Yost, Kim Brooks, Rollo Black and Maurina Schmidt along with her husband John. The tables will be presented later in the spring.
