If a vote was taken today to see which community service organization provides the biggest service to Tyrone, the results would be too close to measure.
\nBoth the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs have provided invaluable services to the community, and now they\u2019re teaming-up on a very important project that\u2019s happening at Reservoir Park.
\n On Friday and Saturday, members of both organizations will be on hand to help install the borough\u2019s new playground equipment at the park.
\n\u201cIn a small community like Tyrone, we need to work together to create a better community,\u201d said Pete Dutrow, president of the Kiwanis organization. \u201cThis project isn\u2019t only about a community service project. It\u2019s going to also bring together two important community-service oriented organizations working alongside one another to make Tyrone a better place to work, visit and live.\u201d
\nAccording to Dutrow, members of both clubs will be pitching in their help on Friday and Saturday. The event is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. each day.
\n\u201cI think it\u2019s really important that two service organization, like Rotary and Kiwanis, have common goals,\u201d said Randy Miles Sr., president of the Rotary Club. \u201cAnd these goals that we set can be achieved with much greater results when we\u2019re working together.\u201d
\nTyrone Mayor Patricia Stoner, who organized the \u201cCommunity Build Project\u201d said it\u2019s important that two organization such as Kiwanis and Rotary are teaming up to help with this project.
\n\u201cI\u2019m excited about the prospect of these two clubs wanting to come together and get involved as one,\u201d said Stoner. \u201cIt didn\u2019t surprise me because this simply epitomizes the spirit of this community and the organizations we have here.\u201d
\nAccording to Miles, both the Kiwanis Club and Rotary Club have discussed teaming up on other community project, but have yet to set anything in stone.
\nStoner said having the community pitch in to help is the current trend among small communities across the country.
\n\u201cNot only does this approach save tremendous labor costs that can be better applied to purchasing additional equipment,\u201d she said, \u201cbut, most importantly, it allows for the community to come together in a spirit of camaraderie by working together in a positive mode, something for which the Tyrone area is legend.\u201d
\nThose who wish to help in the volunteering effort are asked to bring a 3\/8-inch ratchet and a 9\/16-inch socket if those tools are available. Wear gloves, boots or heavy shoes and warm clothing. The project will be held regardless of the weather, so rain gear is advised. Organizers ask that children not attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
