Under the leadership of Bob Forbes, Michael Graham-Hyde and Tim Mackin, the Club recently completed the installation of five cabins at Affinity Ranch.  These cabins will be used for one-on-one therapy sessions. 

The initial phase of the project was to install four concrete caissons per building, in various locations, with anchor systems in preparation for permanent installation.  On Saturday, April 19, a crane and crew arrived to do the moving and lifting of these buildings at three different locations on the ranch.  A number of club members were on hand during the day to assist with the crane guiding, leveling and securely anchoring each building.  The buildings were lifted onto a flatbed trailer and transported to the three sites where the crane lifted and placed them on the foundations.

Site one is located directly southwest of the arena on a hilltop and had no obstructions to contend with.  Sites two and three are located in the sensory gardens with a number of obstacles to affect the lift, which included electrical lines and trees.  The crane was able to lift the two buildings over the power lines and through the trees for placement, as you can see in the photo.  The remaining two sites are located adjacent to the reflection pond and had no obstacles to affect the lift, which went smoothly.   

To get a sense of the magnitude of this project, check out this photo album.

Many thanks to all who made this project possible!  We are particularly grateful to Lobato Construction, who donated the use of the huge crane you see in the photos and the expert operators.

After a couple of delays due to frigid weather, on February 1 a group of Rotarians helped set footings in place to support the cabins that will be used by mental health professionals at Affinity Ranch.  We're thrilled by the completion of each step that brings this project closer to realization.  The day started out gray but the sun was shining at the end!  Click here for a slideshow that shows the project.  There will be a second work day to finish the job, planned for March 15.  Click here for more information and to sign up.

We are grateful to following local businesses that contributed materials and services:
