Fire Trucks, Playgrounds, and the Boys and Girls Club — 2008 Service Projects
Rotarian Claude Johnson greets a group of Wabash freshmen. Johnson
spearheads the local Rotary's service project, which provides fire
trucks and equipment to tiny towns and villages in Mexico.
Claude Johnson describes the work the students will do to get equipment
loaded on four fire trucks that will be shipped off to Mexico in
September. The fire trucks and equipment are donated by Central Indiana
fire departments. Johnson coordinates the effort, which already has sent
nine fully-loaded trucks to various cities in Mexico.
Wabash men provided the heavy lifting of SCBs — Self-Contained Breathing
units — from a huge pile on the floor to the trucks that will carry them
to Mexico.
One big chore the freshmen accomplished was sorting through large piles
of fire protection gear. The students made short work of sorting the
coats and pants by color and size.
Freshman Jack Ruddy, whose father John ’81is a Wabash alumnus, got his
hands on a "Jaws of Life," which was donated to the local Rotary Club.
These students helped the First Baptist Church realize an 18-month dream
— to demolish old playground equipment. Nothing like letting Little
Giants wreak some helpful havoc!
When the electric saw went on the fritz, the Wabash guys used their
muscle to twist off a large piece of playground equipment.
While some Wabash guys labored in the heat, others got lighter
assignments. Here Grayson Stone sorts through some puzzles and games at
the Boys and Girls Club of Montgomery County.
Fresh off winning a state baseball championship as a senior at
Crawfordsville High School, Blake Harris took part in a service project
at the Boys and Girls Club of Montgomery County.
