Each year, the Rotary Club of Castle Rock, with other Rotary Clubs in the area, gather on a Sunday at the close of the Colorado Garden and Home Show to gather flowering plants. These plants are distributed to residents in local senior living facilities, assisted living, memory care, and nursing homes.
We had a great turn out at on March 1, 2020 at the Colorado Convention Center to box up plants and flowers at the end of the Home and Garden Show. Rotarians from around the metro area, along with local boy scouts collected the flowers and they were distributed to local seniors by Rotarians the following Monday morning.
Thanks to all who volunteered. Volunteers from the Rotary Club of Castle Rock at the Garden Show included Rick Nelson, Wes and Lisa Schuneman, Steve and MaryRose LaBracke, Kim Minor, Jill Romann, Sharon Sjostrom and Lisa Baker. Delivery volunteers included Paul Dassel, Dennis Finn, Jay Jackobson, Al Wonstolen, Carol and John Wright, Ron Zuroff, Dave Watts, Rick Nelson and Sharon Sjostrom. Special thanks to Matt Whaley and Olingers for picking up the flowers on Monday morning with the Olinger van. This service is greatly appreciated by many resident's in our local senior living facilities, assisted living, memory care, and nursing homes.
