We are so THANKFUL for the recent help from Coastal Carolina Community College & Jones-Onslow EMC!
The recent Lineman Class @ CCCC came out to get some hands-on experience in vegetation management – they learned safety, proper equipment, chainsaw operations, as well as many other topics that will be useful in their future careers. Even though we got rained out initially, we made it work!
This was a true example of partnership within the community, and we are extremely grateful for the progress that was made on our nature trail and other trees that needed to be cut down.
BIG THANKS to Brian, Terry, and William from CCCC for coordinating all of this; and especially Clayton & James from JOEMC who came out and shared their knowledge and experience! And we cannot forget our veterans and volunteers who showed up to assist: Rob, Dustin, Andy, and Todd; as well as Josh, Shannon, Cassie and Andrew who helped cook lunch and cleanup! Special thanks to Food Lion on Piney Green for providing a gift card to help purchase food for the cookout!
It truly takes a village to make it happen and we are extremely grateful for the AMAZING village we are blessed with!
