Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Casper

Total Budget: $24,454

Area of Focus: None

Activity Type: Community Development: Construction/Renovation

Summary: Provide funds to purchase and labor to assemble 150 new chairs and 42 tables for the Casper Senior Center.


Reveille's mission is to support the senior citizens in our community. The Casper Senior Center is an essential part of the services offered to seniors; a big part of this is providing meals in their dining room.

The current chairs have many issues. Many of the chairs are bent from heavy use; most are so stained that they will no longer clean up with upholstery cleaners. The chairs with arms no longer have padding, so the screws holding the arm pads in place are sticking up through the fabric. This is an issue because many of the seniors are on blood thinner medications and anything protruding could result in a skin tear and bleeding.

The new chairs are steel construction and padded with vinyl allowing the entire chair to be cleaned on the spot when necessary. With this construction there is no need to purchase additional chairs for larger patrons because the new chairs can accommodate an individual weighing up to 500 pounds.

The tables need to be replaced because the Formica tops have been glued and re-glued, but still present sharp edges that could result in skin tears. In addition the tables have been bent from large individuals using them to assist in standing.

Bottom line, the safety of the seniors is of paramount concern. The new furniture will assure that the facility provides a comfortable and safe environment.

Reveille Rotary will provide funds to assist in purchasing the new chairs and tables.

The club will put the chairs and tables together and help arrange them in the dining room. The club will also help the Senior Center dispose of the existing furniture either by finding an organization that can use it or recycling it at Casper's metal recycler.

Once the items are ordered they are expected to arrive in July or August. The club will unpack the parts and put the chairs and tables together as soon as they arrive. Once the new furniture is in place, Reveille will facilitate getting rid of the old furniture.

The total project should be complete by the end of August.

Margaret,

District grants cannot be used to only purchase items. You must have Rotarian involvement.

Please add a detailed budget of all income and expenses and upload it to the documents area.

In order to qualify for a $5,000 grant the clubs foundation per capita must be between $100-$199. Casper-Reveille is currently at $65 for the 19-20 Rotary year which qualifies you for $3,500. The deadline to increase your per capita is June 30th 2020.

On August 10th 15 Rotarians and 2 friends gathered at the Casper Senior Center to assemble 150 new chairs. It took about 1.5 hours. During the first week of September, all the old chairs were removed from the Senior Center. They went to two non-profits that could use them.

Reveille Rotary assembled the tables for this project on 9/14. We also were able to get rid of several of the old tables. There are still old tables that need to be disposed of, but Covid-19 has made that unworkable for now. Except for this, the project is complete.
