In 2009 the Rotary Club of Monroe completed a baseball field specifically designed to accommodate the special needs of kids with disabilities, at a total project cost of $1.5 million.  Sufficient funding for completion of the restroom and concession area was not available at that time requiring that portion of the project to be postponed.  It is now time to complete the project.

Rotary Club of Monroe and Rotary Club of Monroe Foundation are embarking on a capital campaign for construction of a bathroom and concession stand at Monroe Rotary Field.  The type of structure currently slated for this facility is a pre-cast concrete building with full ADA accessible bathrooms and attached concession stand.

Our goal is to complete the project started in 2002, providing disabled kids and many other users with the remaining facilities required for a quality baseball experience.   We are in-process of raising the remaining funds required to complete this effort through solicitation of individual donations, grants, and fundraising activities or events.  To date we have secured $100,597 toward the preliminary project cost estimate of $283,251.37.  Join us after each regular Wednesday meeting to work on this important project.
