ON APRIL 4 ROTARIANS WILL TRANSFORM CONTINENTAL SQUARE
On Thursday, April 4, 2024, from 8am-Noon, Rotary Club of York members are invited to volunteer to help revitalize York’s Continental Square and add new beauty to York City (rain date is Friday, April 5). Continental Square was the center of the first capital of the United States and visited by John Adams, John Hancock, Samuel Adams and Marquis de Lafayette. It is a gathering point for current city residents. There are five planters in the center square. To date, the previous trees and dirt were removed in preparation for the restoration. On April 4, Rotarians will be installing new shrubs and perennials to add new beauty to the square. After the shrubs are planted, a contractor will be adding lights to give the square an evening elegance.
Please contact Joe Stein, if you would like to volunteer. If you are unable to volunteer to help with the landscaping, please stop by to celebrate and cheer on the volunteers at 9:30am on April 4.
