BACK IN THE DAY... Ward
Rotary International celebrated its 100 anniversary in 2005. As a memorial to that event, both of the Skaneateles Rotary Clubs joined together to construct the picnic pavilion at the Skaneateles Town Nature preserve. The Boy Scouts built the picnic tables as an Eagle Scout project. The total project, managed by Divid Lee, took over 3 months of many hands giving up their weekends to make it happen. The material-prep & pre-construction phases were accomplish at David Lee's barns and the pieces were transported to the site for the final construction stages.
