Animal Shelter Vocational Tour
On March 26, 2008 Madera Rotary took a Vocational Tour through the new addition to the Madera Animal Shelter.  Everyone was amazed at the improvements that have been made.  Director Kirsten Gross led the tour and answered questions.  Following the tour of the shelter, Rotarians met at Madera Sunrise Rotary Sports Complex for a box lunch under the pavilion.  The Vocational Service Director who made all of the arrangements is Stevie Green.
