5.7.20 – ZOOM featuring Stephanie Adams

The Rotary Club Board and the Executive Committee have been closely monitoring developments relating to the spread of COVID-19 and in response to that we have canceled our regular weekly luncheons through April 30th.

Instead, we will be holding “Convos on the Couch” for our Club members via ZOOM meetings.

This week’s speaker will be Stephanie Adams, Executive Director, Friends of Grand Rapids Parks.

She and her team are focused on empowering people to cultivate vibrant parks, green spaces, and trees in the Grand Rapids community.
