Rotary Project at George Wyth August 17th

We will begin the actual work on the Rotary Shelter at George Wyth State Park as part of our District Grant commitment - we need your help.

Please join us on Monday before or after the meeting to help, and let us know by filling out this form. Or email Mark Durbahn. We also need your RSVP for lunch - which should be submitted in the same form.

As part of our District Grant from the 2019 / 2020 Rotary year, we will have a work day out at the Rotary Shelter. The committee consisting of Katelyn Tungland, Steve Finegan, Dave Lee, Annie Vander Werff, Mark Kuiper, Gene Leonhardt and James Madison have developed a plan to improve the Rotary Shelter out at George Wyth State Park. Improvements include a new grill, lighting, electrical outlets, counter top and painting.

We will have a catered event out at the Rotary Shelter on Monday, August 17^th with Lori Eberhard, Park Ranger making a brief presentation. The work day will be split in to sessions. 8 – 10 Rotarians will be needed from 10:00 – 12:00 to complete the scraping, sweeping, cleaning and arranging of picnic tables. All Rotarians are welcome for the program which will be from 12:00 – 1:00 and include socializing with face mask and proper distancing, catered lunch and presentation. 8 – 10 Rotarians are needed from 1:00 to 2:00 to complete the painting, clean up and moving tables back. Looking forward to our first in person meeting for our Rotary Club since March. As an added bonus, Rotarians that sign up for one of the work sessions will receive a free Rotary Face Mask.

DIRECTIONS TO THE SHELTER: After entering the George Wyth State Park gates, BEAR LEFT towards the Beach/Picnic Areas/Shelters. The road will wind around the south end of the lake about 1.6 miles, then follow this sign into the parking lot and look for familiar faces!

For those who cannot make it in person, we will broadcast on Facebook Live about 12:15 - 1:00. Be sure to "Like" our Facebook page to get the notification that we are LIVE.
