I've Been Working on the Railroad Ties - Service Project Work Day


How often do you get to order your own dad around... Apparently when you are completing your Eagle Scout Service Project! Isaiah led a group of over 20 volunteers to complete a renovation/beautification project at the Capital Region YMCA.

The projects consisted of renovating the flagpole area with a veteran’s bench and memorial garden. This will allow people a place to honor our majestic flag and US veterans. It included building another set of raised beds for the community garden and a picnic table area. The garden will benefit youth on how to plant fruits and vegetables and have a healthy lifestyle as well as the YMCA community as a whole. It also provides an eating area for the monthly members' social. Finally, a new mailbox was installed and a railroad tie border was added to prevent erosion and designate the parking area.


Volunteers for the project work day were: Vince D'Amico, David Derouin, Jarod Findley, Mike Hoffman, Kathy McWilliams, Mathew Mello, Michael Mello, Jonathan Mortensen, Michael Parker, Will Parker, David Rountree, Travis Rountree, Larry Shimansky, Tracy Shimansky, Amy Springer, Gabriel Springer, Michael Springer, Duncan Weaver, Evan Wingate, Tim Wingate, Cameron Wolf, and Frank Wolf.

These volunteers worked so hard on these renovations sharing the gift of their time and talents.
