On the mornings of 24 and 31 May, members and friends of the Rotary Club of Alliston came out to Aspira Kingsmere Retirement Living on King Street South in Alliston to do a little “spring cleaning.” Specifically, we volunteered to help rebuild their gardens and then plant vegetables and flowers for the enjoyment of the facility’s residents. It’s just another way Rotary helps make our community a better place to live – for everyone.
After the topsoil and plantings, we laid down mulch for a finishing touch.

It was supposed to be spring but Rotarians Ana and Kelly are dressed for winter.
