Ok, so this one is a bit personal. This weekend one of my boys is finishing up his project for Eagle Scout. The project is working with Normas House here in town. They've needed some work on the outside of the building and he's taken on a good bit of that work.
So far they've removed and rebuilt several of the shutters. They will be removing and repainting the rest of them, power washing the building, replacing the sign on the side of the building (not the one out front) and working on the handicap ramp.
For those who aren't aware of what Normas House is, it's a child advocacy center on St. Paul. To read more about them see their website here. It's a worthy cause and I'm a very proud papa to see my son take this on.
If you want to make a difference at Normas House and help a young man earn his Eagle Scout, then come out Saturday morning and help out. We will start at 9 AM and continue on till the project is finished. There will be drinks and at lunch time he'll feed the workers. But this is one of those things that the more hands we have the faster this will go. Both of these are worth while causes, so please come out and make a difference.
There are many people to thank, and I'll let my son do that when he's done, but without the generosity of the community this project would not have been possible. The overwhelming response has been amazing and Normas House and Dennis III have been excited about getting these projects done.
God Bless

PS - Thank you Gonzales Inquirer for printing a nice article on this. If you'd like to read it go here
I encourage everyone to drive by Normas House and see the improvements.
ReplyDeleteShutters and screens were all painted (some just replaced and painted), the steps were painted and non-slip materials used on the steps and the handicap ramp was painted.
Doors that 'never worked right' now close properly, and various other projects were accomplished this weekend.
Thanks for all the businesses that donated material or money (a list will be posted shortly) and to all the people that came out and made a difference. Normas House greatly appreciated it.
God Bless,
Dennis
