Easterday Construction was happy to help with the preliminary planning and estimating for Destiny’s project. We have offered to contribute some additional overstock materials as well if they will help. We want to wish the other volunteers the best as they embark on this project. We also sincerely hope that Destiny gets her wish and enjoys it immensely!
Thursday morning wasn’t exactly a pretty day for setting up the setting up the film reel for the Lake Maxinkuckee Film Fest. Dave Epley and Will Pearson of Easterday Construction put the display together in the rain in order to make sure it was there in time to be decorated for the start of the festival on Friday evening. Hot Pink for 2010! Unfortunately due to the high winds Friday evening, the Reel spent the Friday night on it’s back. It’s just a little too top heavy for 30mph wind gusts.
Easterday Construction Co., Inc. was named as a Sponsoring Business for the Festival. Becky and I were named to the Actor’s Guild as Patrons. We attended the Gala opening on Friday night and enjoyed good food and company. There were cocktails before the showing of the film “Best Man in Grass Creek” at the Uptown Cinema. Following the movie there was a catered dinner under a tent adjacent to the theater. Richard Ford brought three students from the Jacob School of Music at Indiana University, singers Laura Gibson and Nathan Brown and pianist Ilya Friedberg, to perform.
Good luck to the Festival Committee. Judging from Friday evening it should be a fun event, which benefits a good cause. Easterday Construction Co., Inc. is happy to help with this event.
We received a nice letter from Rebuilding Together today thanking us for our assistance to the Culver Lions Club. One of the hardest workers in the Culver Lions Club is Leroy Bean and he is a former ECC employee. Currently Will Pearson in our office is a member of the Lions and has helped them with recommendations and estimates for a home here in Culver. We have loaned tools for the project and put them in touch with reputable sub-contractors for some of the work. Over the years we have also served as a storage facility for excess materials that the Lions have accumulated for use on projects such as these. We’re happy to be able to help them with this effort. The work they are doing is admirable. To steal the Culver Chamber of Commerce’s tag line, the Lions and the work they do in Culver are things that makes Culver “A Nice Place to Be”.
I got an email from ASLA last Friday suggesting that I volunteer to speak at the local school since April is Landscape Architecture Month. In what must have been some kind of a magnanimous fit I fired off an email to the Culver School Superintendent volunteering to do just that. Wouldn’t you know it, April 23rd is Career Day at the the Culver Middle School and they were thrilled to hear that I was volunteering to speak that afternoon. Five 20 minute rotations of about 15 students each. Wow…
