!!!!!!!!!!!!!JULY BOARD MEETING IS CANCELLED!!!<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, June 21st, the Rotary Club delivered and installed 8 redwood benches they made and donated to Sunny Glen. They anchored the front legs of each bench to the ground, to minimize tipping over. One of the stronger men also dug out one set of prior, rotted leftover bench legs that created a possible trip hazzard – not an easy task. In addition, they will also return every year to recoat the benches with protective coatings. They did a great job and we all will appreciate these new additions to our rear game areas.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
