Rotarians at Work Day April 28,2018. Gold Country Rotarians descended on Rock Creek School on Saturday to do several tasks. The garden area cleaned up so the children could plant vegetables. The benches around trees that the club had installed a few years ago were given a new coat of paint with some whimsical designs added. The kiosk near the front entrance to the school was moved and positioned at angle that improved it's visibility.
