Rotary engages 200 volunteers in inaugural Do Days
Cincinnati Vice Mayor Jan-Michele Kearney congratulates Rotary Club President Steve King after Kearney proclaimed Oct. 21 and 22 as Cincinnati Rotary Do Days before a gathering of Do Days volunteers at the St. Francis Seraph Ministries.
More than 200 volunteers washed windows, served meals to homeless families, cut brush, painted picnic tables and constructed buildings, from storage sheds to doll houses, as they met the needs of nonprofits across the region in the first Cincinnati Rotary Do Days. The two-day service blitz was the first of what the Rotary Club of Cincinnati plans as an annual event, matching volunteers throughout the community with hands-on needs of nonprofits.
