The three area Rotary clubs joined forces to provide one wheelchair per club to the Norfork National Fish Hatchery for use by disabled visitors to the facility. Craig Eaton from the Hatchery and Leon Alexander with Friends of the NNFH were present to receive them at the Thursday meeting of the Mountain Home Rotary. Alexander told those present that he had simply commented about the need for a chair - and all three clubs volunteered to donate one on the spot. He thanked the members for their gifts and said they would be available immediately!
