Roundabout News
On Sunday, October 16, members of the Brockport Rotary planted more than a dozen donated native plants in the roundabout on Route 19 and East and West Avenues. These plants, including Hello Yellow Butterfly Weed, Blue Creeping Phlox, Geranium Rozanne, and Snow Flurry, will each bring color to the circle at different times in the next growing season. They needed to be at this time so that they could begin to establish a root system to be ready to grow in the spring. The planting was easier thanks to weeding job previously done by the Brockport Lions Club.
Canal Clean-up
The last Rotary-sponsored Canal Clean-up is scheduled for October 27. Those interested in helping the Rotary clean up the area between the Main Street and Park Avenue bridges, are asked to meet at 5 p.m. at the Brockport Welcome Center, 11 Water Street. Gloves, trash bags, and bottled water will be provided for volunteers.
Playing for Peanuts coming soon
Looking to the future, the Rotary plans to hold “Playing for Peanuts,” an evening of playing games and socializing as a fundraiser for the Ecumenical Food Shelf. The admission to the evening will be a bag of non-perishable food or a monetary donation. More details about this event will be coming soon.
