Westchester Rotary Club hopes to revitalize Senior Center with Makeover Project

biennial “Makeover Project.” While the club has previously chosen the home of a deserving local family to makeover, club president Heather Martillo spearheaded the idea to select a project this time around that would have a much bigger impact on the community. “We chose this project to not only breathe new life into the Westchester
Senior Center, but to create a handson project that will bring our entire community together to work shoulder to shoulder to improve the lives of our seniors,” said Martillo. “Like many cities, the City of Los Angeles does not have adequate funding for ongoing maintenance, repairs and renovations of its public facilities, even ones
that provide vital services to critical populations like the Westchester Senior Center. With an aging population in our community, it is more important than ever to create an updated, inviting and vibrant Senior Center where seniors can socialize and connect with critical resources.” (continued on page 2)
