Whether you have a firepit or not, drink or not, eat or not, or don't think you have enough seating, don't worry.
Rotarians always chip in and bring whatever is needed. Feel free to host an evening event, or join one that someone else hosts. Recently, Lauren & David Peck hosted 8 folks at their home on the Gallatin River to learn about archery, horseshoes, great food & drink, fine art, Rotary cultures in other clubs, and much more. Thanks to their hosting, a super time had by all.
Much thanks to John Shurson, Susan Penner, Bob Farrington, John Allen, John Mills and others who helped dig trenches, lay water hoses and install sprinkler emitters throughout our new shrub, tree and flower area at our park. With the irrigation system in place, our stream area is full of native color.
We also made good progress at the outlet stream bridge - here Doug Chandler and Bob Dubose did a major cleanout to keep beavers at bay.
We congratulate these exceptional young adults from Bozeman High School who succeeded in obtaining $2000 BSRC scholarships at the recent Bozeman Schools Foundation Scholarship Night. Also receiving $2,000 Bozeman Sunrise Scholarships were Madeleine MacDonald and Elijah Carrol (not pictured)
