Rotary Project Welcome Sign

Rockwell City Rotary Club has once again teamed up with Mid American Energy employee volunteers on a project. MAE employees straightened and reinforced and added a new solar street light to the “Welcome to Rockwell City” sign on N 1st Street, that was originally a Rotary Grant project. Some Rotarians assisted with this and others painted the posts and boards to help revitalize the sign.

Basketball Court Project

Rockwell City Rotary Club Basketball Court Project

Over one year ago a wind storm blew down one of the old basketball backboards and the pole that held it at the courts next to the municipal pool in the Rockwell City Park. A Rockwell City Rotarian asked if the replacement of this backboard would qualify as a Rotary District 5970 Matching Grant Project. It was decided to make an application for a grant for this project. The project included 2 new Goalsetter poles, backboards and baskets. It also included 50 ft. x 12 ft. of new chain link fence on the North end of the court and some minor court surface repairs. The City of Rockwell City agreed to pay for 50% of the fence replacement cost. Rotary held a dinner/dance in April 2023, to raise match money and the application was submitted in June. Rotary District 5970 notified Rockwell City Rotary Club in August that it was awarding grant funds for this project. Once the funds were received, the Goalsetters were ordered and Midwest Fence was engaged to replace the fence. Mid American Energy installed several new security lights near the court to make it possible to use the court day or night. Due to unfavorable weather in the fall, the installation of the poles and backboards was delayed until Spring 2024. In May, Rotarians, City workers and other volunteers worked to install the bases, poured concrete, and installed the poles, backboards, and hoops.
