Hurt & Proffitt employees (Matt Leslie, Mike McPeake, Patrick Proffitt, Scott Beasley, Mike Condrey, Kenny Kemp, Josh Venable, Donnie Scrivener, and Tim Bagby) volunteered to build one large picnic table and three small childrens’ picnic tables for the Rivermont Avenue Baptist Church Early Learning Center.
We arrived at 8:00 am on Wednesday, May 12th, and met with the center’s Director, Greta Morris, to set up our construction area. Team 1 (Kemp, Bagby, Beasley, Scrivener, and Venable) built the large picnic table and the Team 2 (Leslie, McPeake, Proffitt, and Condrey) built the small childrens’ picnic tables. Once the tables were completed, they were stained by Josh Venable and Tim Bagby. Team 1 finished their table and then drilled drain holes in the playground’s “Discovery Box” and lifted up the box from the ground by putting landscape timbers underneath the box.
Ms. Morris was very pleased with the picnic tables and improved “Discovery Box”. Hurt & Proffitt also donated the cost of the building materials. Both teams enjoyed the building project and look forward to next year’s Day of Caring!
