Charles Garrison - Outstanding Achievement Award

The Rotary Club of West Shreveport recognized long-time businessman and landscape wizard Charles Garrison as the West Shreveport Business Person of the Year. Mr. Garrison established Garrisons Greenwood Gardens Nursery. Mr. Garrison was instrumental in moving the American Rose Center to Shreveport in 1974. In 1991 the City of Shreveport declared Charles Garrison Day.

President Paul Brown presented the award on behalf of the club. Garrison was a long time member of the club and is an honorary member.

The January, 2010 issue of the District Newsletter, carries detailed article on the event.

Congratulations and, thank you, Charles Garrison.

Happy Holidays with Huntington Interact Club

Sponsor Kathy Beech and members of the Huntington High School Interact have been busy this Holiday Season - and they have the photos to prove it! Service projects included keeping the school area grounds tidy and assisting the Gingerbread House with their December 12th "Breakfast with Santa" event at the Bert Kouns Applebee's. And, of course, the students celebrated their year at Crescent Landing.
