 BEEHIVE SENIOR CARE ADOPTION:
Dove Mountain Rotary has adopted the Bee Hive Senior Care Center. Club members had a Valentine's Day party for the residents.

Honorary Member Brigitte Hentges also made Easter cards for each resident. When the center re-opens to visitors, further service projects are planned.
