Grand Island Rotary teamed with the Niagara Greenway Commission for their Paddles Up Solo 2020 event in July, encouraging families to get out and enjoy water sports while safely distancing. Rotary and their sponsors (Tops, Niagara Outfitters, Blue Water Marina) held a youth coloring contest gaining 25 entries. Our sponsors provided us with 9 awards to youth spanning 3 age groups.
Pictured - See the way the top winner embellished his entry with some extra features! The club received several favorable parent feedback comments.
Next year Paddles Up hopes to be back for in-person events at Beaver Island Park, so Rotary can aim for a snack selling fundraiser, in addition to another youth coloring contest, to increase Rotary presence to their parents!
