A big and heartfelt thank you to all who attended the Rotary 6420 District Conference on May 17 & 18.  The conference was a rousing success, attended by over 100 Rotarians from Northwest Illinois. In addition to inspirational speeches by Rotary Ambassadorial Scholars and Rotarians from around the globe, guests were entertained by the Haunted Galena Tour Company and the Galena Generals.  Rotarians volunteered their time to plant trees on Horseshoe Mound, and were rewarded for their efforts with a tour of Casper Bluff and the Thunderbird Effigy, courtesy of Rotarian Steve Barg.

75 trees were planted on Horseshoe Mound by volunteers from 
Americorps, Wal Mart, and the Rotary Club of Galena.
