| Newport Rotary President Rick Moreau leads the way! |
Newport Rotarians gathered together to “be the inspiration” to the Town of Newport. Friday, August 24, was our annual "spruce up the elementary school" project – turnout was great – the weather was hot – but the schoolyard is now ready for the first day of school.
Grass was cut, trimmed and edged – hanging baskets and pots of glorious flowers graced the front doors – and the retaining wall in front of the school on the main road got a fresh coat of paint – so bright it gleamed. Rotarians Rick Moreau, Mayer Saikali and Larry Howard cut, trimmed and edged…Pam Wall, Michelle Garcia, Tammy Blizzard, Steve Blizzard, Matt and Lindsay Shortway and Anita Moreau made up the painting brigade. Rachel Bell brought out the cold water…and Bevin Wall did a fly by of encouragement.
Afterwards we cleaned up, adjourned to Shortway Brewery for cold drinks – and shared nachos and sandwiches from the deli down the block. We worked our fingers to the bone, but it’s what we do to make Newport shine.
