At their meeting on January 21, the Bonners
Ferry Rotary Club donated $10,000 to the Parks
and Recreation Department’s Memorial Park
Project for new playground equipment under Phase
1 of a three-phase overall project.
Memorial Park will be located next to the
covered concrete slab at the fairgrounds.
The current equipment is over 50 years old and
is unsafe. It will be removed from the site
except for the swing set, which is proposed to
be refurbished and will remain.
With Rotary’s $10,000 donation, the Phase 1
equipment order should be acted upon shortly.
Approximately 30-percent of the total overall
three-phased project cost remains and is
proposed to be generated from future fundraising
efforts and the county.
Rotary would like to thank all of the members of
the community who have helped support our
various fundraiser projects that allow us to
return these funds back to our community.
Over the years they have raised funds through
the Kootenai River Bike Ride, Rotary Calendar
Drawing sales, SWISH, the Community Breakfast &
Silent Auction, and donations by Rotarians,
sponsors, and other benefactors that trust
Rotary to make sound decisions.
Each year Bonners Ferry Rotary distributes
college scholarships in excess of $10,000. They
work on many other community projects and
participate in national and international
projects. You can see some of the things they do
by visiting their
website.
You will find a wide variety of people who share
their Tuesday lunch time and fellowship while
helping make Bonners Ferry and Boundary County a
better place to live.
There are currently 38 active members and two
honorary members who represent many different
careers and age groups. This diversity is what
makes Rotary unique and guarantees that they’ll
always have new ideas for giving back to this
community for each coming year. |
