Rotarians from DeLand’s three Rotary Clubs (Rotary Club of DeLand, DeLand Breakfast Rotary Club, and Rotary Club of Downtown DeLand) were joined by members of the DeLand High School Interact Club for a Service Project at the DeLand YMCA Saturday, March 10, 2018.
The task was to paint the outside Pool Area including hallways leading to the outside Pool. Armed with brushes, rollers, scrapers, ladders, drop cloths, step stools, twenty gallons of paint, etc., the twenty-five energetic and enthusiastic volunteers accomplished the work in about three and a half hours.
The highlight of this Service Project is a Mural that was designed by and also is being painted by Mike Orr. In addition to the Rotary Logo and Motto, Mr. Orr’s mural has the names of the three DeLand Rotary Clubs and lists some significant Rotary projects. Proceeds from the DeLand Christmas Parade, which is sponsored by DeLand’s three Rotary Clubs, funded this YMCA Pool Painting Project.
