FREE CLINIC WORK PROJECT - MAY 2010

Each year, all Rotary clubs are asked to organize a “Rotary Work Day” that serves the local communities we live in.  This year the Rotary Club of Simi Sunrise selected The Dental Free Clinic of Simi Valley.   This effort included an intense day of repair, construction, and painting to make the clinic brighter, repair or replace old problematic fixtures, and simply make it a better place to work and learn.   Joining our club was The Home Depot and the Home Depot Team.   Our club and the free clinic are so grateful for Home Depot’s contribution of the upgraded cabinets, fixtures, paint and supplies as well as an energetic team of folks to help.  Several local skilled tradesmen joined us and made sure the quality of work would stand up to the needs of the Free Clinic.  This work project was no small feat to achieve in a single day and it is the kind of work Rotarians step up to.  The result was we achieved our workday objective and the Free Clinic is much more cheerful and clean and really will allow them to better serve our community.  This is what Rotary and partnerships with the folks at Home Depot is all about and something we can all be proud of.   Our club and it’s leadership sincerely thanks everyone who helped make this amazing project a reality.

SIMI VALLEY STREET FAIR - MAY 2010
