Thank You Lake Shore & Glen Burnie Rotarians! 

The Rotary Clubs of Lake Shore and Glen Burnie sponsored a Bull Roast on May 1, 2010 to assist with the remaining cost of our new Hot Shot Truck.  It was a beautiful Saturday at Kurtz's Beach, full of fun and entertainment.  $4,000 was raised at the event.

Lake Shore Rotary President John Clark, MOW Program Supervisor Terry Lehr, Glen Burnie Rotary President Denise Patterson and MOW Director of Finance Leona Toll enjoy the success of the Bull Roast.

Generous donations have also been received from the Parole & Annapolis Rotary Clubs .
