AREA 1 - DAY of ACTION 

Oh Em Gee! These people were phenomenal participants of our Rotary Day of Action! Some were unable to be in this group capture, yet are as worthy of praise for their efforts. 
 
My heart is overflowing in immense gratitude. Area 1 including the Rotary clubs of Delhi, Norfolk Sunrise, Simcoe and our Rotaract club, extended family and friends collaborated to plant 4200 daffodil bulbs on the Sunrise Trail in Simcoe on Saturday, September 28, 2019. Teamwork, fellowship, laughter, sweat equity, and Service Above Self—what a delicious combined effort to beautify this section of our Norfolk County trail system. Dave King, owner of King’s Flowers, and Rotarian, selected three varieties: Yellow King, White Ice Follies, and Red Ranger. Watch for these glorious colors to bloom next spring. 
 
Following the bulb planting, several Rotarians spent hours at a site cleaning out an extremely overgrown garden area at a residence owned by Norfolk Association of Community Living. Now that was intense sweat equity and appreciated by the residents! 
 
Kelsey Blake of Kelsey Blake Creative filmed the event and will produce a video highlighting the project. 
 
Thank you to ALL of you including the extremely cooperative weather.  A successful Rotary Day of Action goes down in the history books.
