ROTARY WEEK VOL 3 NO 40

GUEST SPEAKER TODAY AT ROTARY WAS FRANK ELLENZ, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR FOR CITY OF MAQUOKETA.
HE IS HAVING AN EXTREMELY BUSY YEAR BECAUSE OF HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH THE DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE.
HE AND HIS MEN ARE ALWAYS BUSY,
EVERY YEAR, DOING MULTIPLE TASKS IN THE CITY, FROM STREET SWEEPING TO LAWN MOWING....AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. 
HE GAVE AN UPDATE ON WHAT IS COMING UP YET
THIS YEAR... AND BEYOND...AND THE LIST IS QUITE  LONG.     

AND IN THE WINTER, HE AND HIS  CREW IS BUSY WITH SNOW.    LAST YEAR FRANK SAYS THEY WERE CALLED OUT TO PLOW ONLY 5 TIMES...A VERY LOW NUMBER.    SO, TODAY HE PREDICTED A HARDER WINTER AHEAD AS THERE WILL NOT BE THE  LOW 5 CALLS TWO YEARS (OR LESS) IN A ROW.   AND THAT MEANS, MORE SNOW COMING THIS WINTER.
AND HE ALREADY HAS MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR MORE SALT FOR THIS COMING WINTER.

 
THE CITY OF PRESTON HAS A NEW VETERANS MEMORIAL IN THE CITY DOWNTOWN PARK, ALONG HIGHWAY 64.   IT IS VERY NICE!    THE CITY CAN BE PROUD!    I (ROTARIAN VOY) TOOK THESE PHOTOS LAST WEEK:

WE SHOULD HELP START A ROTARY CLUB  IN THAT CITY!!
