Rotary Club donating ticket
sales to Project Grad
By Mark Thayer
Special to the Reveille
Get a head start on summer as
the Rotary Club of Cloverdale pre-
sents a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta on
May 5 at the Cloverdale Plaza.
The event features music, food,
dancing and much more to raise
money for the annual Project Grad,
the night graduating Cloverdale
High School seniors have an all-
night party at the Cloverdale Citrus
Fairgrounds with thousands of dol-
lars in entertainment, food and
prizes.
The Rotary Club is donating 100
percent of the fiesta proceeds to the
June 8 student event. Tickets are
now on sale at $15 each for the food
portion of the May 5 plaza party.
Food service will run from 5 to 7
p.m.
The cooking crew is headed by
Jimmy D, this year's winner of the
"Spirit of Sonoma Award" present-
ed by the Sonoma County Economic
Development Board. Also behind
the grill will be Will Jopson,
Cloverdale's favorite "hardware
guy."
Homemade desserts will be sold
by members of the Cloverdale High
School Interact Club, Rotary's teen
affiliate (desserts not included in
the meal ticket). Beer is donated by
Columbia Distributing, and wine as
well as soft drinks will be available.
Beverages will be on sale from 5 to
9 p.m.
Tickets are available at
Cloverdale Eagle Tech Collision
and Towing and The Mail Center
and from Cloverdale High School
seniors and Cloverdale Rotary Club
members.
Not coming to dinner? Music
starts a little after 6:30 p.m. with a
great cover band, "Rock on a Roll"
featuring favorites from the '60s,
'70s and '80s. Admission to the
music portion is free.
Project Grad is a celebration for
graduating seniors and a fabulous
send-off party planned and spon-
sored by Cloverdale parents and
the local community.
This alcohol and drug-free cele-
bration lasts from just after the
graduation ceremony until 4 the
next morning.
Every year most of the graduat-
ing class attends this all-night party
that serves the dual purpose of
keeping students safe and off the
streets after graduation and honor-
ing their graduation with a night of
activities, food, entertainment and
many special memories.

every year in May
By Joyce Mann
Special to the Reveille
Is something missing or does
something look different on the
streets of downtown Cloverdale?
Perhaps your favorite sculpture is
gone?
Yes, there has been a, changing of
the sculptures. There are 12 new
sculptures in the Cloverdale
Sculpture Trail located from
Cloverdale Boulevard and E. Second

There is always a lot of excite-
ment on installation and de-installa-
tion day as volunteers, sculptors,
trucks with trailers loaded with
sculptures, and the forklift with
Cloverdale Public Works' Craig
Johnson and Curtis Waller assisting
sculptors run up and down the
boulevard.
This is planned chaos that trans-
forms the Cloverdale Sculpture
Trail within one-half-day-plus into a
new trail to explore and enjoy.
The tradition of a People's Choice
award returns. Explore the new
trail and then vote for your favorite
sculpture. Ballet box locations will
be announced soon.
The People's Choice winner and
the recipients of the Best of Show
and Honorable Mention awards will

Sons of American Legion
and Lions Club begin
construction
The Sons of the American Legion
in cooperation with the Cloverdale
Lion's Club have begun the con-
struction of a 22-foot extension to
the Cloverdale veterans memorial at
the Cloverdale cemetery.
The original veteran's memorial
was completed in 2016. There has
been a demand for additional bricks
but there is no room available.
Because of the additional requests,
the legion is expanding the memori-
al to accommodate more bricks for
Cloverdale veterans.
The addition .wiLl have space for
approximately 250 additional bricks
to honor local veterans.
Veteran bricks are now on sale.
Any military veteran, living or dead
who currently lives or who has lived
in Cloverdale at any time, is eligible
to have a brick at the veterans
memorial. Bricks are reasonably
priced at $45 for a 4-inch by 8-inch
brick and $85 for an 8-inch by 8-inch
brick. Bricks make great gifts and
are a meaningful way to honor cur-
rent and past family members who
served our country.
Order forms are available at Ace

be requested by calling 696-2964.
The expansion of the veterans
memorial requires building a per-
manent retaining wall on the slope
behind the memorial. The legion is
working with the City of Cloverdale
to make sure the slope is stabilized
to reduce the risk of sliding or fur-
ther erosion.
The Sons of the American Legion
is a nonprofit organization that
serves and honors military veterans
and is accepting donations to help
with these projects. Funds will go
toward the completion of this pro-
ject and to support veterans and
local youth organizations. Donation
checks may be made payable to

son, stepson or grandson of a mem-
