 Eagle Scout Project
I am writing this letter to personally Thank You for your donations of 2 yards of dirt, 2 rose
bushes and 2 arborvitaes that was used for my Eagle Scout project. These were all needed and very much appreciated.
My Eagle Scout project was a success. We started on August 20th and finished on August 24th. The project took 2 days
because we had to let the cement for the flagpole cure 24 hours. We had beautiful weather the first day but on the second day, wasn't so pretty we even had a threat for a tornado. But with my dedicated
workers, 20 in all, we were able to complete it on time. We even had a flag ceremony. We had a lot of fun. The school
looks wonderful, just like new again
Again thank you for your kind contribution
Sincerely,
Tyler Czeck, Eagle Scout
