Nutley Rotarians and Van Riper members along with help from Pretty Handy braved the heat on June 5 and made some progress scraping and painting the windows, garage doors and basement cover.
John Demmer built the cover to keep water out of the basement, and Danny brought his paint sprayer which took a lot of coaxing to get started but really helped with the larger flat surfaces.
Joyce was an expert window frame painter and Rob and James made short work of the peeling paint on the porch ceiling. Barbara was our supervisor and she also did a great job! Many hands, light work - thank you to all! for more photos, click here: photoalbums/van-riper-work-day
At Rotary, we have no tolerance for racism. Promoting respect, celebrating diversity, demanding ethical leadership, and working tirelessly to advance peace are central tenets of our work.
We have more work to do to create more just, open and welcoming communities for all people.
We know there are no easy fixes and that challenging conversations and work lie before all of us. Rotary’s strength has long been our ability and commitment to bringing people together. We will tap into that strength now as we stand with those who are working for peace and justice.
Rotary will do our part to listen, learn and take action to ensure that we continue to contribute to making positive change.
