| Posted by Wayne Overbo Saturday April 21 saw another work party out in the glorious sunshine and snow at Rotary Park. We used snowmobiles to transfer gravel (thanks City of Yellowknife!) from the street out into the marsh, laying it down where it will act as foundation for another 160 feet of boardwalk into this beautiful little mystery glade right in the middle of our fair city. Stay tuned for more information on further work parties this spring.

Just get together and enjoy some fellowship with a fellow Rotarian.
