On Friday, March 11, 2016 Lincoln South Rotary Club heard about the Southern Heights Food Forest from Terry Haverkost, a volunteer with the program. Lincoln South Rotary Club participated in a Rotary District Grant to support the installation of an accessible walkway for the Food Forest. At the end of the meeting we were able to present the check representing our financial support.
Mark your calendars for the Salute to Business event on Tuesday April 5, 2016. This event is sponsored by all 4 Lincoln Rotary clubs and honors a local business which has contributed to job growth in the community.

Lincoln South Rotary is putting together a table of 10 so if you would like to attend, contact Joe Roberts. Cost is $30 per person. This event will count as our regular meeting so Lincoln South will NOT be holding its meeting on Friday April 8th.
