Note From Timothy;

Good morning Troop! This is Timothy Preshong. On this Saturday, September 30th, I’ll be having an Eagle project workday at Central Baptist Church in Johnson City. My project is building two Blessing Boxes (Little Free Pantries) to be installed in downtown Johnson City and this project workday will be to install the last box at the location and make a small mulch bed around it. I’d love if scouts of all ages were able to help!

When: 09/30/23 from 11 AM until finish (probably about noon or 1)

Where: Central Baptist Church 300 North Roan Street, Johnson City, TN 37601 

Feel free to show up a bit late if that makes you more available, just let me know ahead of time.

Please bring clothes that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty, a shovel if you have one, and work gloves. I will provide the other materials and snacks! If you are considering attending or have questions please text or call me at (423) 579-6373 or email me at twpreshong@gmail.com

Thank you everyone for your help!!
