Rotarians Audrie-Jo McConkey and Esther Bejarano with their family and three Rotactors were paired with Scouts to plant trees at the old town dump site. It was a cold and damp day but the group still managed to plant over 1000 trees that will grow into a forest and help in the fight against runaway climate change.Rotarians Audrie-Jo McConkey and Esther Bejarano with their family and three Rotactors were paired with Scouts to plant trees at the old town dump site.

A new RLI website has been launched with a simplified session registration process. Check it out at https://rliatlanticdiv.org.
The next session of RLI will be in Truro at the NSCC on October 26 2019 and would be a great opportunity to learn more about Rotary and get more out of your membership. If you have questions contact Jim, Barbara or Laurie.
