Eagle Scout Project to Benefit Rossville Park - Soccer

On August 4th construction for a new concession stand and storage facility at the Rossville Town Park will begin as part of the Eagle Scout Project for David Hughes. David has been playing soccer as part of the RAYS league for many years and has helped the organization as a referee, a concession person and generally stepping in anywhere needed. As a member of the Mulberry Boy Scout Troop #336, David has combined his love for both organizations into a project that will greatly benefit RAYS and the community park as well.

The structure is planned to about 20' by 10' by 10' and will serve as the concession stand for park field events and as a secure storage facility during the off season. The materials are being supplied for this project at cost by Kramer Lumber but even at cost the project is expected to tip the scales at a little over $1,200.00.

You Can Help! There are two ways you can help this project. First, despite calls and letters to RAYS supporters there still is a large gap in the funds donated and the cost of the project. If you have the ability to contribute financially, your support would be appreciated. Also, all those interested in helping with the construction on August 4th, you time and talents would be of assistance to the project.

If there are any questions, please feel free to contact David at 765.379.9336.
