National Volunteer Month - April 2009
 In
celebration of National Volunteer Month, members of the Centerville Rotary
and Cub Scouts from Pack 813 of St. Charles helped spruce up the Grant Park
Nature Nook and Rotary Memorial Evergreen Forest. These volunteers spread 20
yards of mulch over a two-hour period.
"Nine Rotarians worked with
three scouts and their parents," said Brian Kunkel, Operations Manager of
the Centerville-Washington Park District. "We love our volunteers. They
really step up to help make our parks a better place for the entire
community. It is great to see such enthusiasm and such a wide range of ages
represented."
The Centerville Community Church on State Route 48 had
two groups working the same weekend. One cleared honeysuckle at Grant Park
while the other repainted playground equipment at Iron Horse Park. Earlier
this month, a volunteer group from the Centerville United Methodist Church
on East Franklin Street helped clean up along the Iron Horse Trail.
