On Thursday, February 9, John Messner, Dan Nitz, and Chuck Thurman built the foundation for the new shed at Twin Lakes Food Bank.  The Food Bank had a metal garden shed that was destroyed in the winds from the recent storms.  The shed is located behind the Mount Olive Lutheran Church on Montrose Drive in Folsom.  

 

On Saturday, February 11, several Rotarians built the new shed, made of wood.  Rotary Annes were there providing breakfast and drinks.  On Saturday, February 18, a smaller workforce painted the shed and installed the roof.  This project was paid for by the club and Rotary Annes contributed $500 to the cost of the shed.
