On Spring Rebuilding Day 2010, parents and students of O'Dea High School tackled two projects! Both volunteer groups made improvements to homes of Parkview Services. The second site was lead by Project Managers Leo Lyons, Colm McGlynn, and Ben Riva, Sr.
At the end of the day, Leo, Colm, and Ben selected O'Dea students Brendan Kennedy, Cameron Clark, and Victor Servin as their RTS Energizers.
"They focused their day on beautifying the railings on the entrance of the house and the railings that led to the back yard," Leo said. "The three students worked without a break until this monstrous project was complete. These three stood out in a crowded field!"
The O'Dea parents were very encouraged by the spirit of volunteerism on Saturday, demonstrated by all of the students. "There are times when I read the newspaper headlines and get discouraged about our world," Leo said. "The past Saturday was a great day to be encouraged about our world - I was really impressed with the energy, passion and committment of all the young men and parents that worked on our project."
RTS Congratulates Brendan, Cameron, and Victor for their great work and wonderful attitude. RTS also thanks Leo, Ben, and Colm, as well as the donors to the O'Dea High School projects for for making Spring Rebuilding Day possible!
