The Washburn Rotary Club is planning to move their meetings to the Rec Center in the near future.
First, however, some major renovations have been necessary. The ceilings and lights have been replaced, a large cabinet moved and rebuilt, and the dark blue walls are being painted. When completed, the room will be used by the Rotary Club and available to other groups as well.
