Every year Keller Williams Realty has what they call a Red Day. On this day they select a service project to help out the community with and all of the employees participate. For the past two years, Keller Williams has helped the Patrick Henry Downtown Academy. It was certainly the most exciting day on the site! THANK YOU to all of the volunteers who came out to help us.
Our final review took place downtown on the site. The reviewers had many positive comments to say and are looking forward to the completion of our project.
Beautiful Granite blocks complete with a thermal finish on one face were donated by Pope's father aka Swenson Granite. I can't wait to put them in place.
Baxter Farms donated 2 red maple trees and 2 crab apple trees to Patrick Henry. It was quite an adventure renting a trailer to pick them up and deliver them to the site.
With all of the rain these past 2 weeks it’s pretty clear that our dry creek bed will be needed. We began by digging a trench around the mounds. We then added geotextile filter fabric and gravel. This will help drain the water to two big holes on the site. At these two spots we added drainage pipe that can be used to check and see how well the site is draining.
