rotary sandbox project

Waverly Rotarians build sandboxes and deliver to local families in need. These sandboxes bring hours of summer joy to the youngest of Waverly citizens. 

Rotary is a service organization of community-minded men and women who are committed to the Rotary International motto "Service Above Self." We meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month at the Wartburg Saemann Student Center 2nd floor meeting room at noon.

“This sandbox fill idea is actually credited to an annual project that Jaycees did for many years in this community," said Dan Britt, Waverly Rotary member. “We have many Rotary members who are Jaycee alumni. Since Jaycees no longer exists in Waverly, we decided to take it on as one of many projects Rotary does to meet community need.”

Rotary would like to give accolades to Croel Inc for donating sand, Spahn and Rose for donation of and pre-cutting the wood, Northeast Iowa Community Action for distribution of application flyers and United Way for electronic distribution and collection of applications.

I have an autistic son that loves construction toys. He has a sit-on-digger toy but nothing to dig and the heavy work this sandbox would provide for him would really

accommodate his sensor needs. Thank vou for allowing us to apply.
