Rotarians scrap Zoobalee event for this year
Garden City Rotary will not hold Zoobalee this year due to volunteer time constraints and planning demands. Proceeds previously supported the scholarship fund, which this year totals about 5,000 dollars in grants. Sperling and residents value the family friendly celebration, but no organizer has taken up Zoobalee and Downtown Vision may extend Fourth of July activities instead.
