Rotary Club of Three Creeks Completes Service Project Together – But Separate

hey! sharing is caring :)

The Rotary Club of Three Creeks, which has a reputation for trying new things and completing service projects all over the county, staged a “virtual service project” this weekend and completed 79 hours of service to the community during its first-ever “virtual service project” April 4-5, 2020, around the county.

The club, made up of 35 members, is three and a half years old and has already completed 45 service projects, as service to the community is deeply embedded in the DNA of the club. “Since service to the community is part of our club’s DNA, and we are living through one of the nation’s biggest-ever health crises, it seems appropriate for Rotarians like us to do what we do,” said club president Scot Brantley.


Twelve club members, plus family members in many cases, worked together – but separate in respect for social distancing protocol and to not create a gathering – across Clark County to volunteer for the good of others. Those 12 different Rotarians and their family members turned in a total of 79 hours of service, completing a total of 17 projects over two days.

  • Current club president Scot Brantley and his wife Ashley mowed and weeded a neighbor’s yard, purchased and delivered dinners for elderly in the community who are staying in, bought groceries for a friend who was recently laid off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and reached out to 30 different people for welfare checks asking if there was anything the Brantley family could do for them
  • Past club presidents Susanne & Nelson Holmberg spent 90 minutes packing boxes and stocking shelves at North County Community Food Bank
  • Nelson Holmberg spent 90 minutes replacing a door on one of the club’s Rotary Book Nook neighborhood libraries
  • Nelson Holmberg spent an hour pressure washing neighbors’ sidewalks
  • Jolene Nelson and her daughters made cloth masks and delivered them to local grocery stores and hospitals
  • Kelley Campbell and her daughters sewed cloth masks
  • Andi Costello baked Seven Layer Bars for a neighbor who’s staying home
  • Rian Davis picked up trash in his neighborhood and at a local park
  • Samantha Moullet picked up litter in her neighborhood and at a local park
  • Tina Vlachos contributed to Kyria McGillis mask-making cause
  • Vlachos also made in-home survival kits for friends and clients
  • Lisa Abrahamsson purchased and delivered groceries to an elderly neighbor
  • Lisa Kurtz and her husband Dave picked up and delivered sanitizing wipes; picked up and delivered protective facemasks; and picked up and delivered food in Ridgefield
  • Jim Selby prepared garden markers for a community garden at the Salmon Creek Church. This garden provides half of its crops to residents of a nearby trailer park

“I’m so proud of how our club stepped up and provided service in this innovative structure during a crazy time in our world,” said club president Scot Brantley. “To see close to half of our membership make a difference in each individual member’s way, and involve some of their family members, too, is simply inspiring.”

“Just the fact that we tried something new, again, and made it successful,” Brantley said, “is really very exciting. It truly is what makes our club unique.”
