The “Lucky 13” Tucson Classics Car Show is right around the corner! In preparation for this year’s show the Executive Car Show Committee and the Car Show Committee have been hard at work organizing all the details to pull off another amazing show full of fun, great cars and comradery for our remarkable club.
Reid Park Zoo is bringing an appreciation of biological diversity to the playground! The Wild Adventure playground will give young guests an opportunity to travel through the world without leaving the Zoo! Children will chill out in cool Antartica, hear the rhythmic sounds of the South American rainforest, and appreciate the magnitude of the North American redwoods. Parents will have a shaded area to watch as their kids climb to great heights, peek at animal ambassadors, and connect with the Earth. The Wild Adventure playground will be accessible and fun for children of all abilities. We greatly appreciate all the Rotary Club of Tucson is doing for the development of the project
Every Rotarian needs to wear our exclusive Club Community Service Shirt when participating at the Car Show and when selling tickets in any event setting.
