Club Installs Informational Plaques on Ohio Tow Path Trail
In spite of the numerous events of 2020 taking place this administrative year, the Rotary Club of Barberton, Ohio is doing all it can to make things better for our community and its citizens.
First, with the help of matching funds from the Rotary district and R.I., the Club was able to support the installation of three (3) informational plaques along the Ohio Tow Path Trail. While we recognize all of the Club members for their efforts in providing the necessary funds, we thank all of the people responsible for making this endeavor possible.

The Mayor, William Judge along with additional representative from the community and the Barberton Library which assisted in the research for the signage.
Barberton Rotary Cleans UP!
(Monthly at McCafferty Park)
The Rotary Club of Barberton has taken on the responsibilty of physically cleaning up the community. Weather permitting, during the Club’s last meeting in each month, the members of Barberton Rotary put on masks and gloves and clean up one of the City’s Metro Parks used a great deal by young people.
Unfortunately because of its relative remoteness, it collects a good bit of trash and junk. Rotary cleans up the Playgounds, picnic area, and the parking lot of unacceptable forms of debris. We get precious little community recognition, but the smiles and laughter of the kids who can now play in a safer, cleaner environment, really make up for that.
