QV ROTARACT STUDENTS LEND A HAND TO ARC
Six members of the Quinebaug Valley Regional Rotaract Club assisted the ARC of Quinebaug Valley (Association for Retarded Citizens) in painting their offices on Cook Hill Road in Killingly.
The
ARC building had not been painted since they acquired the facility six years
ago. As a small, not-for-profit agency, the ARC did not have resources to
have the building painted. A local volunteer helped in power washing the
exterior and prepping it for painting. On Sunday, September 23, 2007, the
Rotaract club members spent a good part of the day applying paint to the
boards and were able to finish half way up two sides of the building. More
work was completed this past Saturday, with assistance from some Putnam and
Danielson Rotary members. “We hope to be able to finish the entire first
story of the building for the ARC” stated Woodstock resident Jarrod Hebert,
president of the Rotaract Club. A bucket truck will be brought in to do the
second floor.
Members that participated were Hebert, Treasurer Nick Mainville of Brooklyn,
Lexie Hayes of Putnam, Christopher Stevens of Woodstock, Art Caudill of
Moosup, and Secretary Gabe Hall of Pomfret. They were assisted by club
advisor Putnam Rotarian Pam Brown. According to Brown, the project in
on-going and the group plans to see it through to completion.
