October 3
Fall Festival: No class
October 10
Our own Pem Dunn, master artist and designer of our church's stain glass windows, will shares his art with the class. As many of you know Pem's recent illness caused him to completely lose his sight in his right eye and partial sight in his left eye. This didn't stop him from painting. Now, some say his paintings are even better. Come hear his story.

Eagle Scout Project Help Needed
Landon Hartman, local Eagle Scout, is coordinating a project for UMCE.
For my eagle project, I've decided to reconstruct a retaining wall at the Evergreen United Methodist Church. The wall's an average of 3 feet high and made out of landscaping timbers. Over time, the hill has bent the wall into the parking lot. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to deconstruct then straighten the wall. We'll do this by prying ties off the wall, digging back dirt, replacing timbers(straight this time), then backfilling the wall with filter fabric and pea gravel.
Each day, we'll arrive at the wall at 9 and finish around 3. On the first day I'll divide you up into groups based on skills (dig crew, deconstruction, reconstruction, etc.) then we'll go over the proper way to use tools and then get to work. If you have shovels, pry bars, sledgehammers, wheelbarrows, eye-protection, or gloves I would appreciate it if you brought them (gear check-in google sheet). The project should only take two days, but the 9th is a possible make-up day if we take longer due to the weather.
In order to limit Covid-risk, we'll be doing temp-screening at the check-in and we ask that anyone who's feeling sick stay home. The bathrooms will be inside the church when you're inside the building we also ask that you wear a mask. We'll start each day with a safety briefing and in case anyone gets injured, there will be a first aid kit on site. We're also providing separately packaged water and snacks on-site, and on the last day, I will get food catered by Jimmy Johns. I still recommend that you pack your own water/lunch.
Because this is a fairly large project, I'm going to need a lot of help, so please sign up on the sign-up genius as early as possible so I know whether to contact a larger group. For more information, look at the proposal presentation.
