Rotarians At Work Day at New Vista Ranch

How do you measure the success of a Rotarians At Work Day project?  By how many club members participated? By the value of the project to the recipient of our efforts? By the positive experience of all the participants? By the good fellowship we shared?

Twenty of our thirty club members participated, bringing family and friends along to help.  Another 23 of the Palo Verde Interactors joined in.  We painted walls in three of the residences, bright garden boxes out in their garden, and the entire pool fencing, plus we cleared debris from the grounds. 

And we ended with a positively sumptuous barbeque, courtesy of Joe G., with some brisket-y help from Dennis F.  Everyone – New Vista residents and staff, Rotarians, Interactors, family and friend – had a good time.

Whatever criteria you use, our RAWD project out at New Vista Ranch was a knock-out success. 

You can see us at work – and the final product – on the Summerlin Rotary Facebook page.

Rotarians At Work Day April 27th

Our major annual RAWD project continues our relationship with New Vista. About 20 Rotarians, friends, and family are signed up but there's always room for a few more helping hands.
