Joining other community organizations, Rotarians “ran” carnival games, supervised the Bouncy  House and distributed prizes.  North Coast Rotary will continue to recognize Avon Lake’s bi-centennial at all of its upcoming events.  The Great Pizza Bake Off at Avon Lake High School is September 27th!

At CRS’s new location, Rotarians and friends unpacked and distributed fresh produce at the CRS Farmers’ Market.  The ripe watermelons, heads of lettuce, greens and zucchinis were welcomed by many clients.
