BEING THE INSPIRATION
Samantha “Sami” Vagg, who leads the Rotary Club of Le Roy's Interact club, has inspired the Revitalization Committee of Ogdensburg, NY to duplicate her Hometown Heroes Banner Project.
In February of 2018, the Interact leadership briefed the Village of Le Roy Board and gained permission to buy and put up 21 banners showing those members of the community who are on active duty with the U. S. Armed Forces. The banners were incredibly well received by the local community and grabbed the attention of a visitor from Ogdensburg who was visiting Le Roy last summer. She got in touch with Sami for information. Sami provided her with “the research and leg work done by our AMAZING Rotary Interact Club last year, and I was conferenced in on a presentation to their Village. The Village approved the project, and the banners will be up for Memorial Day. “ See the article below: https://www.ogd.com/ogd/ogdensburg-pride-and-beautification-commission-to-launch-hometown-heroes-project-20181115
