Planting 100 Trees in a local park sounded like the perfect idea commemorating 100 years of Service Above Self! The Rotary Club of Santa Maria collaborated with Santa Barbara County Parks Department, Friends of Waller Park and Your Children's Trees to achieve this lofty goal in Spring of 2022. Every Club member participated. Several spouses became Honorary Rotarians by digging in with the Club on Saturday mornings. Local longtime tree lover and volunteer Jorge Jimenez was the leader of the project at Waller Park. The very popular County park located in the Santa Maria vicinity was named for 1927-28 year President of The Rotary Club of Santa Maria, L.D. Waller. Each tree has been numbered and will be GPS identified and paired with the like numbered past 100 Club Presidents.
