HopeBuilders Build - November 22nd
 
November 22, 2025
 
8:30 am - completion
 
For those of you new to the club, every year we work with HopeBuilders to build a wheelchair ramp to enable a handicapped person to stay in their home.  We will team up with Shawnee Rotary and the Shawnee Mission Northwest Interact on this project. 
 
This requires no special skills or tools on your part.  No experience needed.  We work from 8:30 until completion.  You are welcome to come if you can only work part of the day.  Your spouses, children and grandchildren are welcome to participate- no experience necessary!  They must be at least 16 years of age.  Lenexa Rotary Foundation contributes $1000 towards the cost of materials for the project. 
 
The location of the project is yet to be identified by HopeBUILDERS, but will be announced closer to the project date. 
 
If you want to help, please contact Greg Peterson.
