Conservation and stewardship of our natural environment is so important to us as Rotarians. On Monday, we were joined by Dave Zenk, Executive Director of Metroparks Toledo, to discuss Metroparks conservation efforts and their ongoing/upcoming projects.

About us
Founded on May 3, 1912, The Rotary Club of Toledo has a long-standing tradition and members are dedicated to the Rotary International motto: “Service Above Self.” Our Club is number 44 out of 32,000 worldwide and is currently the 10th largest Rotary Club in the world. As a non-profit organization comprised of business and professional leaders, we proudly adhere to high ethical standards, build community goodwill, develop relationships through networking, and encourage fellowship and mutual respect. Above all else, we provide humanitarian service to groups in need at home and abroad.

Today that same school, Glendale Feilbach School, serves as one of Toledo’s public elementary schools. Our Club maintains an active role with the school. Our members take pride in supporting and enhancing our local community and the world through volunteerism; share their talents, time and resources for the advancement of local and international communities; and, take an active role in building fellowship with other community leaders and working together to promote positive change for the benefit of others. The Rotary Club of Toledo supported and organized its own foundation in January 1952. The Toledo Rotary Foundation is a 501c3 and became a public foundation in 2001.

Since then, Metroparks has fulfilled a commitment to provide a Metropark within five miles of every Lucas County resident, and under the leadership of Executive Director Dave Zenk, was named the No. 1 park system in the nation. Now, the agency is nearing the halfway point in the development of Glass City Riverwalk.
