OTTAWA MEMORIAL PARK PROJECT
OG Rotary Club has adopted the Ottawa Memorial Park as a pet project by helping to maintain the facilites and encouraging and coordinating continual improvement. In 2007, the club had purchased a bridge that covers a small creek to enhance the park. The club has helped place a mulch path through the park as well as stones surrounding the new bridge. The club helped establish the brand new disc golf course and this will be upgraded this year. OG Rotary is open to additional help to keep this pet project going. Please contact Mike Burkholder (419-523-6713) is you have suggestions or would want to become involved.
FIRST ANNUAL SPRING CLEAN UP DAY
Saturday May 3rd OG Rotary had their first annual Spring Clean UP Day at the Park. Many volunteers showed up to rake leaves, shovel debris, and pick up throughout the whole park. Saturday May 17th, Phase II took place which focused on mulching around pine trees. Many thanks to WAL-MART as they joined OG Rotary with 4 very hard working volunteers.
