The annual Hands Across Rockdale event will be held on Saturday, April 18.  Projects are now being accepted for the event and organizations are encouraged to go to the website www.handsacrossrockdale.com to register or for corporate sponsorship.  The deadline is February 24.  Previous projects include community beautification, playground improvements, painting / upgrades to senior homes, garden beds for Rockdale Career Academy for the culinary program, a garden at the Olivia Haydel Senior Center, installed sidewalks at Rockdale Cares, and more.  Organizations may register their own project with the focus on being a collaborative effort throughout the community of service to others.  Leadership of the Hands Across Rockdale project want to ignite a passion for service and create lifelong community volunteers.
