On May 20th, The Littleton Rotary Club celebrated Rotary International’s “Day of Service” by helping children in its area in need of one of life’s essentials: a bed. President-elect Chris Alphen hosted the Littleton Rotary Club, members of the Littleton High School’s Honor Society, and Littleton citizen-volunteers at his Dolphin Insulation headquarters at a Build-a-Bed event in which piles of wood were miraculously made into beds destined for children in need.
To get the job done smoothly, Chris assigned a specific task to each person from cutting to sanding, assembling, staining, branding and packaging. Everyone built up an appetite and by noon all enjoyed a delicious lunch donated by The Littleton Sub Shop and Tavern on the Square. By the end of the event, twenty-three beds had been built, branded with the Rotary International logo and prepared for delivery to children throughout the area.
