A GRAND COLLECTIVE CLEANUP OF BEAVER ISLAND PARKWAY

A grand collection of Grand Island High School students, University of Buffalo Rotaractors and interested Grand Island residents joined the Rotary Club of Grand Island for its semi-annual cleanup along the Beaver Island Parkway on October 22.
 
The bike / walking path along the parkway to Beaver Island is now part of the Shore Line Trail, an effort by NYS Parks and several groups including our neighboring Rotary clubs, to make a safe, walking path along most of the Niagara River.
 
Grand Island Rotarians are proud to do their part (with lots of local support) in this major project.  However, club Rotarians were saddened this month - as this was likely the first time in 30 years of parkway cleanup, that we were not joined by DG Dick Earne in our midst.  He was always a leader in the long running project.
