Recap

This week we had Josh Skeens and Karen Koplan with Paul Davis Restoration. Josh bought the West Knoxville franchise and took over ownership in 2015. Karen handles the company’s marketing and website development. The company is a franchise chain with almost 370 stores nationwide. They are a full-service restoration company and leader in property damage restoration and emergency services. Paul Davis was the first to partner with insurance companies in the area and offer performance warranties. They provide 24/7 emergency response including water extraction, mold removal, structural drying, fire/smoke damage, storm and wind damage, and structural damage repair.

Why call Paul Davis? They have a proven history and reputation for innovation to solutions, a dedication to training and technical competency, a rigor for communication, measurement and proof of quality delivery, and leading-edge technology. Furthermore, every employee is fully trained and certified. If you are ever in need of emergency repair services or property damage cleanup and restoration, please reach out to them at (865) 584-1227 or online at pauldavis-westknoxville.com.

Project Information

It’s time for Salvation Army Bell Ringing! John passed around signup sheets to volunteer for the week of November 27 - December 1. We still need two people to fill the original days plus an additional day that has been added. If you have not yet signed up, please see John to do so.
It is once again time for the Community Action Coat Drive! We are accepting new and gently used coat donations in all sizes to help furnish coats for those that don’t have the money to buy one otherwise. You may either drop your donations off at Fox Toyota or bring them to Rotary with you on Tuesdays. The Community Center has generously donated about 100-150 coats already that were left over from unclaimed lost and found items. In the past, our club has collected about 5,000 coats each year for this. We hope this year will be no different! Please see ET with any questions.
