“Twice a year, we partner and volunteer in support of Rebuilding Together’s mission to help and transform lives, “said Henry Buffalow, Community Services Chair. “Rotarians, family, friends, Rotaract and Interact students donate their time in support of this special project as well and it is rewarding experience all around,” he added.

SCOPE OF PROJECT

Cupertino Rotary’s mission is to work on repairs that are very much needed both internally and externally to ensure safety and quality of life for Mr. and Mrs. Peck.

This effort has started last week (prior to the actual work day, October 19th). The Rotarians had a crew building the back porch last Friday, October 11th, and probably some efforts during this week in preparation for this coming Saturday, October 19th.

4. Rebuild back door landing and secure hand rails (this will be done before 10/19)

6. Install 12 inch grab bar in bathroom outside tub
7. Make, reframe and install two crawl space access doors (pre-fabrication will be done before 10/19)
