Sussex Corner Sign and Flower Work
In addition to flowers in O’Connell Park, the Club has also maintained flowers around the Club’s sign display as you enter Sussex from the Four Corner’s entrance.
On July 14, 2014, President Bob & Juanita Tremblett, along with Rotarian Rhoda Wilson, met at Sussex Corner to repair the bricks around the sign entering Sussex.
The frost had heaved the bricks and repairs were needed as can be seen from the pictures of the before and after. As part of the repairs, flowers were planted with coordination from Communities in Bloom. The Club is very thankful for the help provided by Communities in Bloom, especially Joan Routledge.
