Members of the Paola Rotary Club and their family members surprised a few Paola residents on the morning of Saturday, Nov. 14, by showing up with rakes in hand to help collect and bag leaves. The group of about 20 volunteers man- aged to clean up six yards and fill 110 bags of leaves! Thank you to Jimmy Hay and his fellow Community Projects Committee members for organizing the event, and thank you to Casey Crum and Family Center for donating the bags and Mike Hursey for taking the leaves. It was a great service project demon- strating Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self!”
