Video: Check for All Persons Playground Water Feature Presented at Rotary Meeting

John Sullivan, a former president of the Brandon '86 Rotary Club, and now a member of the Rotary Club of FishHawk-Riverview, who spearheaded the push for a water feature at Rotary's All Persons Playground at Clayton Park in Brandon, accepted on behalf of the effort a $2,500 check from his current club, which he said provides "the last piece of the puzzle that will last a long time."

That "piece" involves the funds necessary for water and electric hook-ups. There was money to build the water feature, but not to turn on the power or the water, said Sullivan, in this video, shot at the Nov. 26 meeting of the FishHawk-Riverview Rotary club at Beef 'O' Brady's on Bell Shoals Road in Valrico.

"As long as we could dig the hole and have the spouts, but no water or power to run them, we were fine," he said. "So, this actually makes the thing run."

Christopher Jones, president of the FishHawk-Riverview Rotary club, said the money donated was raised at the club's Crawfish Festival at FishHawk Ranch in May.
