KEYT reported that community volunteers help spruce up busy Nipomo street. Ken Whittle reported that as a community service organization, we wanted to beautify this median in the middle of Tefft Street west between the freeway and the park,.

Ken Whittle reported that when there's a need, we jump in and get things done. We wanted to give it a better image, said Whittle. Barry Dunahoo reported that this whole area was full of weeds,.

Barry Dunahoo reported that earlier, we cleaned out all the weeds in the trash, put a pre-emergent down so they won't grow back and today we're spreading mulch down to cover the median and make it look good. Debralee Coleman reported that it means a lot,.

For years prior to the cleanup, the long concrete barriers that divide the east-west traffic along the busy corridor were unsightly and unkept, creating an unpleasant visual for those who passed by them. Helping out with the cause was a local landscaping business, Troesh Coleman Pacific, which donated the ground cover materials used in the project. Rotary members said the effort is another example of the club's commitment to giving back to the community through hands-on service.

The official motto for the international organization is " Service Above Self," which was officially adopted in 1959 because it best conveys the philosophy of unselfish volunteer service. With the Tefft Street project now complete, club members hope to take on similar beautification and improvement projects throughout Nipomo in the future. Reports differed on the location.

Ken Whittle said, “As a community service organization, we wanted to beautify this median in the middle of Tefft Street west between the freeway and the park,”.
