Service above self
As part of the first-ever EPIC Day of Service, the Castle Rock Rotary Club volunteers organized the meeting and cafeteria rooms with new furniture at the Wellspring Community’s residence.
In May, Colorado Rotary clubs participated in the first statewide EPIC Day of Service. More than 1,000 Rotarians and community members joined forces to support more than 54 nonprofit organizations.
The Castle Rock Rotary Club helped with a Wellspring Community renovation project, helping to transform the former La Quinta hotel in Castle Rock into a livable residential facility for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
“This marked a significant milestone as we helped to establish the first residential housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities within our community,” stated Rotarian Foundation Board Member, Megan Boespflug.
“Service above Self” is the motto of Rotary International, an organization that is 110 years old with more than 1.4 million volunteers in 46,000 clubs worldwide.
The Castle Rock Rotary Club members sanded and painted bathroom vanities and shelf units at the Wellspring Community project site, an undertaking that will be the first residential housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities within the community.
