Past Projects
In 2012 East Salem Rotary built a hands-on children’s learning garden at the La Casita Community Center in the Waldo/Washington neighborhood. The club continues to provide maintenance over time, such as adding irrigation lines and providing weeding as needed.
During the 2013-2014 Rotary year, East Salem Rotary worked with the Boys and Girls Club’s Swegle Branch to build a hands-on learning garden for the kids who take part in their programs. Special thanks to Greer Bros. Landscaping for their design and professional consultation, Highway Fuel for the bark delivery and Dan Jones for the top soil.
Brown Road Greenhouse
During the 2014-15 Rotary year, the East Salem Rotary club built and donated a much needed greenhouse to the Brown Road Community Garden.
Part fundraiser and part community service, East Salem Rotary prepared and served Palm Sunday Brunch at Willamette Lutheran Retirement Center for several years.
East Salem Rotary built and installed Little Free Libraries in various locations in the east Salem area, starting in 2020. Club members have adopted the well-used libraries and keep them stocked with children’s books. The club collects donated books on an ongoing basis.
