Club seeks ramp volunteers

Leverda Otterbach home

Steve Smith, Roswell Rotary Club handicapped ramp coordinator, is seeking volunteers to build the club’s third ramp under the New Mexico Ramp Project umbrella.

Volunteers should meet at the home of Leverda Otterbach, 410 E. 23rd Street, Space 44, at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 17.

“I think we will be done before noon. We have some volunteers, but we can use more,” Steve said. “Mrs. Otterbach has been homebound for the past four months. This ramp will be a real blessing for her.”

New police chief to speak

Lance Bateman, Roswell’s new police chief, will speak at the June 15 Rotary Club meeting.

Bateman, retired State Police District 3 commander in Roswell, was born and raised in Roswell, where he graduated from Goddard High School.
