Sometimes it is in the details


Yesterday was the dedication of the Town of Huntersville Town Clock outside of the new Town Center which is set to be open in July. Discovery Place Kids will also be located in Town Center, but it will not open until the fall.
Lake Norman-Huntersville Rotary Club saw a need and an opportunity to promote all the good things that Rotary does for our communities. If you look around your own communities you'll see those small details where Rotary has filled a gap. For Huntersville, it is also the "Welcome to Huntersville" Signs. There is a bench at a bus stop in Cornelius that was provided by Rotary. (It was a much needed and well used bench). The fountain in Marion Square in Charleston is also Rotary project. You can sit at one of the four cornerstone "tests".
Now these are just outward expressions, Rotary does a lot that doesn't require a dedication ceremony such as raising money for clean water projects, erradicating polio and various local charities. For these things, I would like to thank them and for this clock...Thanks for providing the finishing touch to this cornerstone plaza! I can't wait to see the first field trip group fill into the plaza and the teacher point at the clock to let them know how long they'll get to explore Discovery Place Kids.
