BRANDON - In celebration of Rotary Club founder Paul Harris' 140th birthday, Brandon '86 Rotary Club and Cub Scouts Pack 61 cleaned up the All Persons Playground for people with all abilities and planted a Paul Harris Friendship Tree on April 19.

"Citizenship begins on the playground,"Harris once said. "Perhaps dreaming is not so bad if one dreams good dreams and makes them come true."

"We wanted to make the dreams of children of all abilities come true on Paul Harris' 140th birthday," said Brandon '86 Rotary Club President Larry Westberry. "The Pack 61 Cub Scouts joined our efforts in Brandon to help."

All Person's Playground is at 800 S. Parsons Ave. in Brandonandwas built so children of all ages and abilities can play alongside one another and learn that people are more alike than they are different.
