This Week in GP Metro Rotary

REMINDER! We will not have a meeting tomorrow, but there is another opportunity to serve this weekend. If you haven't already signed up, join us for the Fall Sweep / Adopt-a-Street project on Saturday.

Fall Sweep

We have a service event this Saturday (September 21) and need your help! We are working with the City of Grand Prairie as part of their annual Fall Sweep in accordance with our Adopt-A-Street Clean Up. We still need a few more volunteers to help keep our street clean! Feel free to come out and bring your spouse, children, or a friend to help make this event possible!

This event will kick off at Lynn Creek Marina, 5700 Lake Ridge Parkway Grand Prairie, TX 75052. We will began our clean up at 9 a.m. and should finish around 11am.

If you can make it, please reach out to Bria Watt via cell 678-572-8630 or email bwatt@printpack.com.
