Rotaract members lend hand to ARC

DANIELSON - Six members of the Quinebaug Valley Regional Rotaract Club recently helped the ARC of Quinebaug Valley (Association for Retarded Citizens) paint their offices on Cook Hill Road in Killingly.

The ARC building had not been painted since the organization acquired the facility six years ago. As a small, not-for-profit agency, the ARC lacked the resources to have the building painted.

A local volunteer helped in power-washing the exterior and prepping it for painting. On Sept. 23, Rotaract club members spent a good part of the day applying paint to the boards and finished half-way up two sides of the building.

More work was completed on a second Saturday, with assistance from some Putnam and Danielson Rotary members.

"We hope to be able to finish the entire first story of the building for the ARC," said Jarrod Hebert of Woodstock, president of the Rotaract Club.

Participating in the project were Mr. Hebert, Treasurer Nick Mainville of Brooklyn, Lexie Hayes of Putnam, Christopher Stevens of Woodstock, Art Caudill of Moosup, and Secretary Gabe Hall of Pomfret. They were assisted by the club adviser, Putnam Rotarian Pam Brown.

According to Ms. Brown, the project in ongoing and the group plans to see it through to completion.
