Twelve members of the Colonial Heights Rotary Club traveled to
Jackson-Feild August 22 to deliver 16 brand new bicycles. With help from
several of our residents the Rotarians worked tirelessly in the hot sun
assembling all the bicycles. The bikes are Road Master bicycles with
large tires which are needed to ride the gravel roads around the
Jackson-Feild Campus.
The funds to
purchase the bicycles were provided by a grant from Rotary District
7600. Local Rotary Clubs can request grant funding for needs within
their communities. A grants committee within the District must approve
all grant requests.
After the bikes
were assembled residents, guests and staff gathered in Robinson Gym for
an old-fashion ice cream social. The Rotarians provided ice cream and
all the toppings which brought smiles to the faces of residents.
Everyone had a great time.
