Plano East Rotarians Major Remodel at Plano Food Pantry
By Rick Boyer
Plano East Rotary Club (PERC) started their January service project on 1/11/18. The Plano Food Pantry on 18th Street was the beneficiary. PERC remodeled the receiving room where families come to receive their food. It had been badly damaged by the shopping carts that are used to distribute the food. The project started on Friday with some prep work and material delivery; Saturday was demo day, the floor was removed and beadboard and chair rail were installed; Sunday the ceiling and walls were painted; Monday the new floor was installed. There are a couple things to finish this week. (Rick is working on them personally)
Participants in the project included: Kenny Wilson, Rick Maucieri, Ean Sullivan, Patti Henry, Sally Philipp, Gene Losey, David Rodgers, David Roger’s son Jason, Ellitt Braud, Randy Wright and Rick Boyer.
Thank you to all the participants.
Rick Boyer,
Service Chair
