PAINTING HOPE

On Feb 9th, members of the Rotary Club of Le Roy kicked off a new partnership under the Pink Flamingo of Change with the Hope Center of Le Roy, NY.  The Hope Center currently provides various programs for all ages in the community including an after-school program for youth, a support program for mothers of young children and a meeting place for the “more mature”.  They are expanding into the building next door on Main Street in Le Roy. 
 
The paint job pictured left, involved stalwart Rotarians Tammy Arneth, Andy Rich and Jim Ellison.  They were supported by Jim Frascati who provided some excellent bruschetta at his restaurant during a social which followed the painting.  Also, please note the presence of “Penelope, the club's Pink Flamingo” who accompanied them on the new venture into hand-on projects in the local community.
