FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT: In 2006, Rotary Botanical Gardens was severely vandalized by 3 teenage boys. As tragic an event this was, it also galvanized the community into an outstanding show of support. Donations from the community and an anonymous donor provided the Gardens with $42,000 for increased lighting and a state-of-the-art digital camera security system.

According to the 2005 annual report, total expenses were $763.961. Of that, $339.020, ALMOST ONE HALF of the entire budget, was used for payroll and benefits. Not payroll for the hundreds of VOLUNTEERS who worked hard so it can remain free to everyone, but rather payroll and benefits for the "4 full-time, 7 part-time and 6 seasonal staff" of the non-profit organization titled Rotary Botanical Gardens. http://www.rotarygardens.org/images/2006...

The FACT is that many people have already volunteered for YEARS believing it was to keep it free to the public for all to enjoy. Now that it's beautiful enough for Rotary to raise the money to increase salaries.....

What a slap in the face to the $ donors and volunteers who have already donated time and money JUST BECAUSE the gardens are free for EVERYONE to enjoy. Under false pretenses they've already done the work. How very sad..

Many people have volunteered hours and donated money JUST BECAUSE the gardens are free for everyone to enjoy. The satisfaction came from building something beautiful that ALL would be able to experience. It appears the free labor was deceived until the work was done. How very sad....
