Rotarians Love Roses For over a decade, the members of the Delta Rotary Club of Eugene have been lending their time, talents and funding to enhance and restore the Owen Rose Garden. Their list of improvements is exhaustive and includes the construction of the much-loved gazebo, pergola and trellises. Just this summer, they erected a new welcome kiosk, added gravel to paths, weeded like crazy and worked on replacing wooden borders around the formal rose beds. They also just became the official adopters of the garden through the City of Eugene Parks Stewards program which entails a two-year commitment and four projects per year. In an effort to help their rapidly growing member base become more familiar with their work at the garden, the club will host their Sept. 5 lunch meeting outside, among the roses. For more information, please contact Eugene Parks Stewards Coordinator Lorna Baldwin at 541-682-4845 or lorna.j.baldwin@ci.eugene.or.us, or Delta Rotary Community Delta Rotary members (Tom Hoyt on the left and Jack Kauble on the Service Chair Kevin McAndrews at 541-465-4072 or right) at Owen Rose Garden work party. kevin.mcandrews@usbank.com.
