The weather was great, cooler and a nice breeze. The riders enjoyed their rides
with lots of food and drinks for all and we had a great bunch of volunteers from
the Rotary Clubs, YMCA and others. Many thanks to our sponsors who helped
make this possible. A complete list of sponsors are on the ride website:

Several of the members of the Rotary Club of Central Citrus County met at the Annie
Johnson Senior & Family Service Center in West Dunnellon to plant flowers and mulch
areas. Everyone had a good time, worked hard and a sweated a little. The result looked
great as you can see from the pictures. Members brought food dishes to share after
completing the project including food for distribution to clients of the Annie Johnson
Senior & Family Service Center. We had some guests who admired our efforts especially
after Karen shared a treat with them( 4 donkeys). The pictures below show what can be
done with a small amount of money and some hard work for few hours on a Saturday
morning(4/26/2014) by a dedicated group of Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Central
Central Citrus County. See pictures below
