Alberta Lee
The Lima Rotary Club says goodbye to a longtime member.
The Lima Rotary Club is saddened to learn of the death of Alberta Lee on Thursday morning. Alberta joined Rotary in 1991 and in recent years has been an honorary member of our club. She was always an enthusiastic and generous supporter of Rotary and many other organizations throughout Allen County, including being a major donor to our amphitheater project. Alberta was also dedicated to public service, serving as Lima City School Board member, Allen County Recorder and Allen County Commissioner in addition to her career as a Realtor.

The Scoop - March 26, 2023
The grand opening of the Greater Lima Region Park & Amphitheater is August 3, 4 and 5!
Construction of the amphitheater is nearly complete and the Lima Rotary Club is excited to announce the grand opening celebration.  Tracie Sanchez and Abe Ambroza told us that the lineup is: August 3 - R&B and pop group All 4 One with Naturally 7; August 4 -  Lima native and Beach Boy Al Jardine; August 5 - country singer Ian Munsick. Ticket sales will be announced soon.
Tracie told us that as soon as the weather improves, work will begin on the park's lawn and landscaping. In the meantime, fundraising continues to pay for the lights and sound for the stage.
 
We also welcomed the winners of the 4-Test Essay contest to Rotary. The first, second and third place winners read their essays about the 4-Way Test and how they apply it to their daily lives and decision making. The winners are: 
First place: Aryiah Bowie, Liberty Arts Magnet 7th grader, writing about Historically Blue Universities and Colleges
Second place: Rose Lawrence, Liberty Arts Magnet 7th grader, writing about cell phones and young people
Third place: Jameson Emerick, Liberty Arts Magnet 8th grader, writing about video games
Congratulations!
 
We also passed the bucket to help MESA purchase a new truck. Over the two weeks of collections we raised $604! Thank you for your generosity.
