Rotary Club of Dubuque raises over $9,000 with the help of a District matching grant and provides the manpower to supply a storage shed for ARK Advocates to make adaptive equipment more accessible to those with disabilities in our community!
With the help of a District matching grant, along with a generous donation from Spahn & Rose, our Club was able to provide a storage shed for ARK Advocates to store adaptive equipment, such as bikes, to make the river walk more accessible to those with disabilities in our community. The shed is located in the parking lot under the 16th St. bridge.
Thank you to all of the volunteers who painted the shed, installed shelves inside the shed and hung solar lights outside the shed for safety. It looks fantastic!
