An invitation to assist with an upcoming Eagle project is included below.
Hello,
I am looking for volunteers to help me complete my Eagle Project. My project is to install a wired lighting system for my church’s Rosary Garden, and for my first workday we will be trying to bury the power cable and attach most of the lights to the system. The project workday will be at St. Dominic’s Church, 2517 John B. Dennis Hwy, Kingsport, TN 37660, on Tuesday, July 28 from 9am-4pm. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. If you can help, please rsvp , so that I can account for you for breakfast.
Thank you for your help,
Ryan Lick
