SANTA ROSA HOST/CLOVERDALE TO THE RESCUE The Santa Rosa Host Lions Club ran into a
real stumbling block while preparing lunch for the graduating
class at Canine Companions for That promoted the Santa Rosa Host Lions Club
to think about replacing the electric stove with a much more
efficient gas range.
They presented their idea to LPCCI and CCI.
With the remodeling of Gittinger Hall in process, it
seemed like an opportune time to make the change.
With CCI CEO Corey Hudson’s and Mrs. Gittinger’s
approval, the next step was to find a range that would satisfy
the needs of a “commercial type kitchen” and yet fit the space
allowed.
Santa Rosa Host Lions to the rescue!
Lion Barry Bialkoski did the shopping and found Sears was
having a sale. He
was able to negotiate a 30% discount and free delivery.
The other requirement was to install a gas
line. Cloverdale Lions to the rescue!
Wes Boardman, honorary member of the Cloverdale Club,
contacted Chris Vine of C.V. Plumbing.
Working with CCI Facility Manager Jim Flint, Chris
installed the line at a 10% discount with the Santa Rosa Host
Lions picking up the tab. “It was a tricky installation with all
the remodeling in progress, but everything went smoothly,”
commented Chris.
“I’m glad to be a part of it.”
“It makes for a much more functional kitchen”, he added. This addition has been a real boon to CCI’s
kitchen. It proved
its worth during the recent Tapas, Treasures and Treats
fundraiser in May and has been well used ever since.
A grateful thank you to the Santa Rosa Host Lions Club
and Chris Vine of the Cloverdale Lions Club for satisfying a
real need. You
exemplify the meaning of “We Serve”. |
