BELOW, KIDS HAVE JUST PLANTED A TREE

THE ROTARY PROGRAM MARCH 29TH WAS ON "TREES AND TREE PLANTING"

EMILY SWIHART IS THE FIELD COORDINATOR FOR "TREES FOREVER", A PAID POSITION FOR THE IOWA-ILLINOIS ORGANIZATION.   SHE LIVES IN SABULA.
MAQUOKETA IS KNOWN AS "THE TIMBER CITY" SO IT WAS A VERY APPROPRIATE PROGRAM FOR ROTARY.    SHE LIVES IN SABULA.    I'M SURE SHE WOULD BE GLAD TO GIVE HER PROGRAM TO YOUR
CLUB.   HER CELL PHONE:  563-260-1000
