WHEN: Saturday May 5, 2018 at 10:00 a.m.
WHERE: Jackson Park, 925 N. 4th Street, Temple, Texas 76501
BRING: Your friends and family members! We will be getting the tool trailer from City of Temple, but you may want to bring gloves and wear old clothes.
WHY: Our club has a unique history with Jackson Park. In 1935, our club provided a beautiful fountain and landscaped walking and sitting circle in the park. Decades later, a Rotarian found the fountain and circle in extremely poor condition with the original bronze dedication plaque cast to one side. This was brought to the attention of Barbara Bozon, and she championed a restoration project. Improvements began in early 2002. The City of Temple put in benches and some vegetation around the fountain area. Landscaping of the inner circle around the fountain was put in by Dana Macaulay, son of Temple South Rotary Club member Mike Macaulay, for his Eagle Scout project. A new plaque was placed below the first one declaring the Rotary Club of Temple rededication in September 2002. Our club has committed to maintaining the park through park clean-up days, which we try to do at least twice a year.
