ANNOUNCING CHALK ON YOUR WALK IS BEING HELD VIRTUALLY IN OCTOBER 2020! NOW EXTENDED TO NOV 15, 2020!

It is a LOT. Come join Rotary - 30,000 clubs working on important efforts around the globe

When: Artists can submit a photo of painting, photo, or textile created this year. Help us find artists and sponsors for this fun event.
