Centro adopts a park

The club adopted a park to work on and it is Tommy Maccione Park, 306 E. Marcy St.
Tommy Macccione park, also called Artist park, is named after Tommy Macccione (1907 - 1992). He was known for his equally colorful, post-impressionistic impasto paintings of flowers and landscapes.

Here is a picture of our meeting with Santa Fe's Park & Rec., next to Maccione's bronze sculpture.

Rotary is a generous and caring family. 

Two ways Rotarians can help our neighbors in need:

- Blood donations  

If you donate, please mention that you are donating on behalf of Rotary.  Later, we will be able to assess the impact that Rotary has made.
