Neal's Eagle Project was removal of invasive species in Zachary Taylor Park, taking just over 110 man-hours to complete. A difficult, unpleasant, and very badly needed project.
Neal will soon be off for his Junior Year at the Blue Ridge School. ...and lest we forget, "Happy 18th Birthday, Neal!"
Thanks (again) to the Board of Review members Tim Arthurs, Hank Dettmar, Dick Meyers, Rita Rooney, and Stu Shelton, who went above and beyond the call of duty in handling two Eagles on a Friday night.
