Rogers Rotary has an amazingly successful record of securing District 5950 grant funds for local projects. On Tuesday, July 30, our next application goes before the District Grants Committee.
Project Overview: A veterans’ memorial will be established in Triangle Park, adjacent to the Rogers Community Center. It will convey respect for all of the armed service members from the City of Rogers (formerly Hassan Township) who have served our country. Each military branch will have a special area within the memorial.
The City of Rogers gave Rogers Rotary the first opportunity to select which portion of the memorial to support. Organizers selected the central flag pole with American flag, lighting and landscaping. This gives the club high visibility near the memorial entrance.
Member Involvement: Rotary members will clear the ground, install the flag pole, install the stone paver edging, soil, plants and ground cover. At least 12 members will provide hands-on participation, completing the project in approximately three days.
Many thanks to President Chuck Christian and past presidents Jack Hines, Bruce Johnson and Floyd Ingersoll for working with the City of Rogers and vendors, securing bids and support for this project.
