It was approximately 4:17 PM and 33 degrees on Wednesday, January 6, 2021 when the large circular Mequon-Thiensville logo arrived at the scene of the Gateway Promenade feature on the corner of Mequon Road and Cedarburg Road. The large structure is the final piece to the project, with the exception of the donor wall on the interior which is to be added this spring.

 

See, I told you it was approximately 4:17 PM and 33 degrees, but did you believe me?.. Probably. 

 

Shortly after the structure arrived the crew got to work. They quickly realized the small ladder would not suffice for the project and switched to the big guns.

 

By 8:15, this beauty was complete! Thank you to everyone who has put so much effort into this project. It is truly amazing seeing the hard work of Ratarians coming to fruition!

So, I missed a meeting due to Fantasy Flowers being crazy busy. So, I say to myself, "Self, I have helped Nancy to find makeups!" And off to the 'Net I went. And, TA-DA!

Rotary Club Number one had and has everything I needed.

 

I did a wonderful make up about the Water Gardens of Japan. It was a video that encompassed a year in the life of a Japanese village that lives by a large lake and how the wetlands and canals contribute to their livelihood and how, by their behaviors, they support the ecosystem.
