Reno Sparks Retirees Club Donates Fans to Needy Seniors

July 12, 2021

IBEW 1245 Reno Sparks Retirees (from left) Jim Lappin, Bob Vieira, Ron Borst and Frank Istrice delivered donated fans to Washoe County Senior Services in early July.

In what has become an annual tradition, the IBEW 1245 Reno-Sparks Retirees Club collected and donated 39 fans for needy senior citizens in Washoe County.

Club President Ron Borst started the fan drive back in 2015 after hearing a radio ad about low income seniors suffering during the hot summer months (temps often exceed 100 degrees in Reno during the summer and many seniors are unable to afford air conditioning). Borst issued a challenge to the fellow members of the Retirees Club to collect as many fans as they could, and an annual tradition was born. Since the drive began, the club has donated a total of 241 fans — and counting.
