at age 5. Kolby is now an Ambassador for Arkansas Children’s Hospital and is enjoying an active and healthy childhood. Northside Rotary has been a supporter of the Eiland family through some difficult times. When Northside Rotary learned that the National Kidney Foundation was closing its Little Rock office and that the Kidney Walk was at risk of being discontinued, Northside Rotary stepped up to the challenge and in only 2 months pulled off a very successful event.
The Northside Rotary Walk for Kidney Sake is a non-competitive event focusing on educating the public about kidney disease and organ donation. Fifty-percent of the proceeds from this event will benefit the Arkansas Children’s Hospital to provide needed funds to continue programs of public education, research, and emergency grants for Arkansans battling kidney disease. Remaining funds will go to help dialysis patients in NWA and toward partnering with a local organization to help children in NWA who are on dialysis.
The 2nd Annual Northside Rotary Walk for Kidney Sake is scheduled to take place on September 8, 2007 at Gulley Park in Fayetteville.

Arguably the most striking feature of the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks will be the Rotary Rose Garden and Peace Arbor. It will contain approximately one hundred different varieties of roses (see conceptual plan below) and a stunning architecturally designed arbor as the garden's centerpiece. 
Below is the lastest rendering of what the arbor will look like up close. The arbor was designed by Amirmoez, Foster, Hailey and Johnson Architects in Fayetteville led by Rotarians Jim Foster and Zed Johnson. Click the image for a larger depiction of the Peace Arbor. 
In addition to the significant funding and support of the Fayetteville Rotary clubs, the community at large and local businesses are asked to show their support by getting in on the ground floor of what will be a significant Northwest Arkansas landmark.
