On a beautiful summer day, the Putnam Rotary Club held their weekly meeting at Rotary Park. Lunch was provided by Renee's Catering.
Club President, Doug Porter, organized the meeting as a social meeting for the Club. Rotarian, Karen Osbrey, presented a short history of Rotary Park. The Park was created after hurricane of 1955 with the help from contributions for Rotary Clubs across United States.
The Club continues to support the Park with the help of a Club committee, "Gardeners in the Park". The Club also contributed money to the Town of Putnam for an irrigations system and a new lawn for the Park.
Although it was mostly a social meeting, when Rotarians get together business always gets done. On Tuesday, the Club pledged $1,700 to the Town's "Brick for a Veteran Campaign". The money will be used to honor 17 Rotarians that have served in the United States Armed Services. A brick with their name on it will be placed in Veteran Park.
