FORP Speaks at Kiwanis

I was asked to speak at the Hilldale Kiwanis meeting this morning about FORP. I was warmly welcomed. I explained to the group who we were and why we existed. I also explained what we have done and what we have planned for the future. Many attendees were longtime Clarksville residents and have fond memories of Rotary Park. A few of them shared their favorite Rotary Park stories with the group after my presentation. I provided every member with a handout complete with a description of our group as well as photographs from past workdays. The photo sequence took viewers from a nearly bare piece of land to the completed trail. I attempted to show the group how much work that it takes for us to build sustainable trail.

In all, I thought the presentation went well. It was a great opportunity to spread the word about our group and, most importantly, that Rotary Park has re-opened and will soon be better than ever. I think I even recruited some new workers. I sincerely appreciate the members of the Hilldale Kiwanis giving me such an opportunity and such a warm welcome.
