The Rotary Club of Tehachapi announces that its 11th annual Senior Smoke Alarm Battery Replacement Program which is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 8th from 9 a.m. until noon.

This Community Service Program continues to grow as more and more seniors sign up every year to have a team of Rotarians come to their home and put brand new batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors at no cost to the recipient. The members of our Rotaract and Interact Clubs are also a part of our team of enthusiastic volunteers who thoroughly enjoy making sure that our senior citizens are more protected by fully operational smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

You can sign up by calling our Community Service Chair, Kathleen Gilbert at (661) 822-5187. You can also sign up at the Senior Center or many designated churches throughout the community, and senior residence parks. We ask that you let us know the number of smoke detectors in your home so that we have adequate batteries to install in each and every one.

The Rotary Club of Tehachapi is a leadership organization made up of local business, professional and civic leaders. We meet every Thursday at noon at Don Juan’s Latin Grill. We get to know each other, form friendships, and through that, we’re able to get things done in our community. For more information about Rotary call Tim Trujillo at (661) 821-0086.
