Centering Onalaska Service Opportunity

Thank you to Sue Weideman for suggesting our involvement!  Centering Onalaska takes care of the pretty things around Onalaska like the hanging flower baskets, the fall decorations, storm water planters to name a few.    Their mission is all about the beautification of the area.

The group is smaller in size than it once was, and they just can't do everything they did before. They are looking for help in watering the hanging plants that hang in the City of Onalaska throughout the summer.  They have received grants that cover the costs of getting and making the planters so that is not anything we would have to help with.  The City of Onalaska has someone to water during the week, the group has to pay for that, but it's covered in a grant and endowment funds. They are looking for people to help water on weekends only.  There is a truck that has a tank of water on it and the tank gets hooked up to a low hose and boom, it's done.

They also may need help on reworking some of the storm drain planters.  They would be one day projects, so maybe a Saturday from 9 to 1.  They weren't completely sure.

I think this would be a great match for Valley View Rotary since there is no cost to us, it's a service project for the community and it's Onalaska, where our club has been from the beginning.

Please let me know if this a project you would be willing to assist with. I am hoping this "ad" creates enough buzz for Community Services to take on this project and create a sign-up in Club Runner for helping this season.
