Cycle to Walk participated in a flag raising ceremony to honour the first day of Rotary Week with Mayor Donald J. Atchison, Rotary District 5550 Governor June Cathcart, and many Rotarians and community members.

While I was growing up, my mom would enforce the 10 am - 10 pm rule: all outgoing and incoming phone calls would have to be made within that window of time.
