Jennifer Perry, executive director of Verde Valley Sanctuary (left), presented a slide show on the Sanctuary's renovated back yard now a beautiful healing garden and playground. All four Verde Valley Rotary Clubs helped to fund the garden, with $2,000 raised by our club along with a matching grant from Rotary District 5495. Jennifer said the garden has added needed outdoor living space. "It's now a beautiful place to go out outside, exhale, and start their new life." Club President Holli Ploog announced the book "Good Night, Gorilla" will be donated to West Sedona School on Jennifer's behalf.
