Approximately 25 members of the Maysville Rotary and about a dozen
Boy Scouts gave up their Saturday to brighten lives/yards of local residence.
After receiving a list of shut-ins or citizens with no means to do yard work, our local club set out to 'make their day'. Traveling with mulch, tools, flowers, and maps, the teams (mostly 4 - 5 as a team) reached their destinations.
After discussing what needed to be done, they began their work. Digging up old plants or remains of trees/bushes, the landscapes began taking on a new, fresh look. When all the project at a home was complete, the landscape was blooming with newly planted flowers. Each home also received a hanging basket.
Many of the residents came out to personally thank them, some even weeping with joy. It must be noted that the ones that got the most out of this project, were the Rotary members.
Approximately 12 homes received sprucing up. The club has decided that it was such a great success that we will do this again next year but plan to expand the number of homes.
