FRONTPAGE_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE D  uring the month of September, BuildaBridge welcomed volunteers for three service day projects. All three teams focused their efforts on the carriage house and the landscaping projects, and their hard work and efforts show! On September 11, City Year set the bar high as a team of fifteen volunteers cleaned out the interior of the carriage house. Amidst the down pour, City Year formed a production line to successfully and efficiently move 1,000 moulds from the carriage to the basement; BuildaBridge was visited by Channel 6 local news; and the carriage house is now empty and renovation can begin! On September 18—after a consultation visit by my mother, Hart James, a landscape designer from Lexington, Kentucky—a second team of City Year volunteers came to further the progress of the landscaping in the front and side lawn of the BuildaBridge house. Finally, on September 23, BuildaBridge welcomed ten, hardworking Sacred Heart Country Day School students and their English  teacher to help landscape the back lawn. The girls shoveled, plowed, and leveled the yard before finally planting seed. Their efforts will come full circle next spring as our new backyard gardens begin to bloom. Thank you to City Year and Sacred Heart Country Day School for willingly volunteering your time and efforts. Your hard work and productivity has not gone unnoticed. September 2009 is certainly a month that BuildaBridge will always remember. |
