Sunrise Rotary spiffs up Memorial’s garden
The Surry Sunrise
Rotary Club recently
had a work day to
clear out the Veteran’s
Memorial garden prior
to the regular spring
planting by the city
landscaping staff. The
club has sponsored the
flowers for the memorial
for several years, and
decided this year to put
on their work gloves
and participate in
beautifying that part of
our downtown area.
Michella Huff of the
city’s parks and grounds
staff told them that she
welcomed their help in
preparing the gardens
for planting. The club
members met on a
recent Saturday
morning and, under
Huff’s directions,
worked to pull out the
old flowers, weed the
plant beds, tie off the
daffodils, and clean the
fountain.
The city staff then
brought in the new
flowers early the
following week and
replanted the garden,
ensuring a beautiful
area for local residents
and visitors to see for
the rest of the summer.

The garden was looking sparse after the debris was cleared away
and before the new plantings were done.
Even the fountain was spruced up with some fountain cleaning
foam.

the volleyball team hosting the
Dig Pink event for the sixth
consecutive year to raise funding and awareness for breast
cancer.
“All of our student-athletes
participate in community projects throughout the academic
year. Many of the teams do
more than one charitable effort,
which gives these student-athletes the opportunity to make a
difference in their communities
and serve as role models,” said
Surry Athletic Director Mark
Tucker.
Surry awarded the StudentAthlete of the Year to sophomore golfer Gatlin Hiatt of
North Surry High School. Hiatt
