What do you get when you put a Lowe's Store and Paula (Jenkins) Anderson together with a group of volunteers? You get an amazing transformation of our beloved museum! Paula contacted the Lowe's store on Scatterfield Road in Anderson to ask if they would donate a storm door for the back of our museum. Store manager Dale Kelley agreed to the door and so much more. They were looking for a community service project to do and this fit right up their alley. On August 27th they came out to assess our needs and begin the work. Along with several Lowe's volunteers some of our alumni joined in. While Willie Anderson (our Vice President), Paula, Pam DeGraw, John Love, Diane Love and Cora (Jenkins) Bennett spent several hours and days working outside, alumni members Jan (Reynolds) Williams, Patricia (Smith) Towne & Katie (Coryell) Danford worked inside getting our museum ready for Homecoming. We even had a HYCA employee and her son come help with the work. It was truly a community project! Lowe's donations included three storm doors (two are on special order), all the paint and supplies needed, all of the perennials (including a weeping cherry tree and two beautiful shrubs), gardening tools to clear the beds and plant the new flowers and all of the materials for the new pillar. Wow! All of that and great volunteer technical help. Oh yes, and the concrete repairs to the front porch too!
John Love contacted Mark Haase of Knightstown Elevator and he generously donated all of the mulch for our new flower beds. Thanks, Mark!
John Creason, also with Lowes, constructed a new pillar for our front porch to replace the one that was rotting out. John, it truly looks beautiful!
Enjoy the pictures. This writer has "gone to Lowe's"!
