La Jolla Noon Rotary - Rotarians at Work Day, April 27, 2019

1. On Saturday, April 27th, 28 Rotarians, firefighters, and La Jolla High
School students marshalled forces to refresh dead, dying and weed-
filled hanging planters around the Village.
The beautification effort was this year’s “Rotarians at Work Day”
project sponsored by La Jolla Rotary.
Advance work by Rotarians Bill Burch (event chair) and Cindy
Goodman identified and marked 35 hanging planters that were
most in need of “TLC”.
Then, bright and early on Saturday morning, local firefighters
removed the planters and loaded them onto a trailer to be dropped
off at a staging area behind the Post Office.
Awaiting Rotarians and students, with garden trowels at the ready,
set to work. Twelve bags of potting soil and 114 geraniums later,
the refreshed planters are back gracing La Jolla streets.
