Tree Watering - As part of our commitment with the trees, Rotary will be responsible for watering shared with Lion’s Club and the City. There are about 39 in our area and they are asking for watering twice a week, probably Monday and Thursday. We need a pickup that can pull about 2000 pounds and it needs a 2 and 5/16 inch ball. Alan Powell will be around to start the process on Thurs around 11 AM and Mon, Oct 2 after Rotary, as well. He is looking for help in general but specifically Oct. 5, 9, 12, 16, and 19. Contact Bill Feller or John Ebert if you can help in the coming weeks.
