Up until a couple of years ago, I had heard of Rotary, but didn't know exactly what it was. Well, I was really amazed to find out that it is a group of business people who are very concerned with helping out their community. In Manassas, the first project I became aware of, concerned people within the City of Manassas who didn't have water. I hadn't realized, despite growing up here, that there was anyone in the city who didn't have public water. So, the Rotarians raised money, and worked diligently to ensure that they could get as many people as possible connected to public water.
Today, the Rotary's project was to clean up trash along Bull Run River, which borders Prince William County. Jim and our son met with the rest of the group at 7:3o am, had breakfast, and headed out to the River to collect garbage. It is so awesome to be part of such a caring community! I really love that our family and business are in a position to be able to contribute to our home town. The people (who we are fortunate to also call friends) are so giving. We feel blessed to be able to live in Manassas VA, and to be part of the lives of so many wonderful members of our community!
