Since 2008, Derby-Shelton Rotarians (and friends) have taken pleasure in delivering buckets of sand to seniors in Derby and Shelton in advance of upcoming winter storms. This year, the Club is delivering 100 buckets to those in the two towns who have requested the buckets to help give their porches, stairs, and sidewalks a little more traction throughout the upcoming months. As always Kim Ryan-Caro did another outstanding job coordinating the project with club president Joe Shapiro mapping out delivery routes. A special thanks goes to the Shelton Department of Public Works for helping to make this project possible.

The following are this year’s volunteers with their assignments.

Check out all these smiling Rotarians (and friends) as they prepare the buckets for delivery on a freezing December Day!

Just in time for the first warning signs of winter snow, Derby-Shelton Rotarians spent the day loading buckets of sand and slat to be delivered to senior citizens in Deby and Shelton. This annual project under the direction of Kim Caro is a time consuming and physically challenging event for Rotarians as they fill the buckets and then deliver them in person to seniors who signed up in the weeks prior to the event.  Volunteers who participated in this year’s effort included:

Joe and JoAnn Shapiro
Doug LaMonte
Kim Caro
Linda Homes-Hannon
Carolyn Dow
Porter McKinnon
Jeff Forte
Tom Wilson
Chris Carey
Sharon Herman
Liza Gambin

Over 90 seniors are benefitting from this year’s program.
