Thomas C. is planning an Eagle Project Work Day for Saturday, April 9th starting at 8am. Earn service hours and help Thomas. Just use the form below this post to sign up.

The project is to install blue street reflectors which indicate fire hydrant locations. Eleven neighborhoods around the Mandarin Rd., Loretto Rd. and Flynn Rd. areas benefit from this project. The project enables fire departments to easily find 60+ hydrants and create positive safety impact to nearly 700 homes.

The workday scheduled for Sunday will not be necessary. The Saturday work crew knocked it out of the ballpark and completed the project. Thanks to all who helped.
