For four years, the District Public Image Committee has held a drawing each quarter for safety vests to encourage hands-on projects and to promote membership. After years of applying - Harbortown won the drawing! The safety vests will have the Harbortown logo and website on them.
Scott Soderberg rotaryscott5580@gmail.com is collecting current members' sizes and will gather some extras for new incoming members as well. While they are somewhat roomy, members are encouraged to consider the ability to wear them over heavier clothing so they can be worn year around!
