The Penfield Rotary Club was awarded a District Simplified Grant in July 2019 to help fund the building of a shelter
at the Penfield Community Victory Garden. The shelter will provide much needed cover for gardeners during extreme heat or bad weather. Additionally, the shelter will provide a space to the many classes the garden offers to community members each year.
at the Penfield Community Victory Garden. The shelter will provide much needed cover for gardeners during extreme heat or bad weather. Additionally, the shelter will provide a space to the many classes the garden offers to community members each year. The shelter was built with the help of Eagle Scout Candidate Ryan H of Pack 230, who secured the necessary materials and labor to help the project come to fruition. The shelter is a great example of how District Simplified Grants can be secured by local Rotary Clubs to benefit the entire community!
Penfield Rotary Club recently performed two service projects. In July, the Club teamed up with Spencerport and Avon Rotary Clubs to serve lunch to attendees at Camp Open Arms, a camp operated by Gilda's Club for children whose lives have been affected by cancer. 
nd project took place on August 9th where Club Members prepared a BBQ for veterans residing at NUCOR House. The Club prepares meals for NUCOR House residents approx. three-four times per year.
