On Saturday, 30 September 2023, The Rotary Club of Flatonia and the Flatonia Lions Club hosted a joint service event, a Garden Party and Lunch, to Celebrate Community.
Celebrate Community, a joint initiative of the four major volunteer service organizations, launched in 2021-2022 with a focus on local community service. The morning was spent planting butterfly gardens in the Flatonia Healthcare Center’s planter boxes, which Flatonia Rotary built and donated several years ago. Lions, Rotarians, Residents and staff all dug in to plant the buttterfly friendly plants and then all shared a chili hotdog and icecream lunch. The outdoor temperatures were a little cooler, the 50’s and 60’s music was a blast from the past, and the coming together with friends and Flatonians made for a very special Celebrate Community Day.
