Dear Grangetto's (Attention Maria), Thank you very much for donating the weed barrier clothe for my Eagle Project. Thanks to your generosity and the massive response of volunteers and donations, I was able to exceed ail expectations and what I had ever hoped for on this project. This project turned out to be way more work than I had ever expected. Every time I thought we had gotten close to being done, another obstacle was thrown my way, or it just turned out that there was more work to be done. Each time I had a work party, I would get there and look at the work that needed to be done. I would say, "There is no way we can get this done." However, each time there would be a huge response of volunteers and ail of the work, if not more, would get done.

We ended up moving approximately 10 yards or more of dirt from the garden area by hand. This was a daunting task and probably one of the most difficult during the entire course of the project. Thank you to all the volunteers for moving countless wheelbarrows full of dirt.

Without the donations that I received, I would not have been able to do any of the landscaping and improvements to the area. Because of this response I raised over $2400 in donations, and that doesn't include the specific items (like yours) that were donated. With the money that was donated I was able to buy better materials that will last longer and be more useful to the church. The church greatly appreciated my project, and even the church administrator said that it went above and beyond ail expectations.

I am truly blessed to have so many people who were willing to give so much to help me complete this project. Thank you for supporting Grace Lutheran School, thank you for supporting Boy Scouts and thank you for supporting me on my road to Eagle Scout. Without your help it would not have been possible.

Sincerely,
Charlie Bartley
