Willard House & Clock Museum
Grafton Troop 107 Eagle Scout candidate, Jeremy Reddy has been involved with the museum's Pollinator Meadow Project for over a year. He came to me and expressed interest in doing a project for the museum. I said, "benches would be great!" So here's what happened:
· Jeremy wrote a detailed project plan and schedule, complete with a materials budget.
· He found build plans for the benches and researched the proper wood for the project.
· He created a GoFundMe page to raise funds to buy lumber. A digital entrepreneur.
· Jeremy had no woodworking experience or tools of any kind. Thanks to you, Jeannie, Artie Young offered up his shop, tools and fabrication experience to Jeremy.
· He recruited other scouts and adults for assistance.
· Jeremy built 5 benches for the museum. They will be distributed around the Pollinator Meadow so that anyone may stop by and enjoy the surroundings.
· LIke any good project manager, Jeremy kept me regularly updated on the project and communicated any changes in scope.
Mr. Reddy is an excellent example of what scouting is all about. BVCC and its connections were important in making this project a reality. And Jeremy's contribution to the museum should hold up for many years. A win-win-win.
