A popular local pre-school daycare program got some help recently when the Twentynine Palms Rotary Club provided them with a new sign. The sign for the Little School of the Desert was recently installed with club members, church officials, the sign’s builder, and even a student on hand.
Each year, in addition to major community service projects and events, the President of the club chooses a President’s project. In 2024, then President Dan Mintz asked Liz Meyer, a Rotarian and the President of the Little Church of the desert if they had any immediate needs. Meyer told Mintz that the Pre-school’s sign had seen much better days and needed to be replaced. For the next few months funds raised by “fining” their members, (a good-natured tradition) went to the sign fund. Little Church Pastor Don Thursby located volunteer Larry Libby and the project began. The sign was finally completed in late August and, with the Rotary District Governor on hand, was put in place with a little ceremony and a lot of smiles. The Rotary Club of Twentynine Palms, dedicated to community service, meets Wednesdays at noon at the Little Church of the desert meeting room. New members are actively sought and visitors are welcome to attend.
