The Brockport Rotary Club was active over the summer with its Rotary Reads in the park, sprucing up the landscape around the U.S. Post Office, and canal clean up between the Main Street and Park Avenue bridges. The club has supported the Ecumenical Food Shelf, the Village Tree Board, BSA Troop 111, and a scholarship for a student at SUNY Brockport. Rotarians also worked with BISCO to help make the Arts Festival a success.
Project Canal Clean Up Reprise
On September 29, the Brockport Rotary Club with Rotaract students, LSU Fraternity members, SUNY Geology majors, and community members, walked along the canal picking up refuse. Club members said it was heartening to see so many people caring for the canal.
The last clean up for the season is scheduled for October 27. All are invited to help keep Brockport a beautiful place to stroll. Meet at Harvester Park on the canal side of the Welcome Center at 5 p.m. The Rotary Club will provide gloves, trash bags, and water for volunteers. This is a good service project for youth organizations and any individuals interested in maintaining a clean environment. Members and volunteers are invited to gather at a local eatery after the clean up to celebrate a job well done.
Traffic Roundabout Plantings
The Brockport Rotary Club invites members of the community to help place native plants in the traffic roundabout on Route 19 on Sunday, October 16, between noon and 2 p.m. The area to be planted with hardy, native plants is a ten-foot diameter in the center of the circle, and will leave in place the mums that the Brockport Lions Club already planted. Those who would like to assist are asked to bring their garden gloves and small gardening hand tools. Water and snacks will be provided. The rain date is October 23.
