Skateboard Donation for Local Skatepark Fundraiser


The Rotary Club of Northern Columbia County is contributing a skateboard that celebrates Rotary to a local fundraiser benefitting a new skateboard park in Chatham, Columbia County. The skateboards will be auctioned off at an event March 27 at the Benenson Visitor’s Center at ArtOMI International in Ghent from 4-7 p.m.


The club’s artist, Gavin Shelow, is the son of club secretary Taitia Shelow, a Rotarian for 6 years. Gavin received the club’s Family of Rotary award in 2009, having participated in most of the club’s fundraisers and community service projects since his mom joined the club, plus volunteered for projects in his school and community. He received the Chatham Middle School’s award for community service and the Principal’s Award. Gavin is a freshman at Chatham High School.
