It’s the final day in Crisfield and once again we started
with a big cooked breakfast but this time we said goodbye to Mr. Rawls. It
felt like Groundhog’s day as almost all of us headed to another roofing
job. We got to work immediately, tearing
off the old shingles and sheething the entire roof. We had felt paper laid and the start of
shingles back on by lunch. The job was
complete by 3:00 so that we could return to home base, pack up the tools in the
trailer and head for a dinner out.
What an awesome group of people we had this year! Our new additions, Ms. Zelonis and Mr. Rawls,
fit right in. They both brought unique
skills and traits that augmented our current team of leaders. We cannot thank all the people enough that
make this trip so incredible each year. The
first thank yous go to Teresa Carroll; Brian, Veronica and William Deiling; and
Megan and Jarret Brightbill for giving us the time to do this. A big thank you also to the staff,
administration and students of Dauphin County Technical School that support our
efforts. If it were not for Mr. Hawke,
Mr. Grierson, Mrs. Hoy and Mrs. Custer; Carpentry, Building Construction and
the coaching team would suffer in our absence. To everyone at Keystone Human Services, we
appreciate being able to borrow Ms. Connie for a week. We would also be remiss if we did not thank
all the BC Cares alumni who continue to support, talk about and follow all of
the projects that we have completed over the years. And finally, thank you to Joining Hands and
the Colonial Park Rotary for their full support in helping us teach the
students the very real value of service above self.
Once again, thanks to all,
Bob Brightbill, Tim Carroll, and Sharon Deiling
