Who are the Adair County Band of Brothers?

"Just come," Morrison says, "rain or shine I'll be there. We can have as many volunteers as there are people called to help others."

By Linda Waggener

The Band of Brothers is a men's fellowship group at the Columbia Christian church. Their projects have been from very large to small, but always about giving of themselves to help others in need.

Ellen Zornes, President of the Adair Heritage Association, reached out to the band of Brothers to ask about a possible service project at the historic Rosenwald school in the Flatwoods section of Adair County, KY.

Bobby Morrison agreed to meet with some of the interested parties who hoped to save the school to survey needs that the band if brothers might possibly do. That survey resulted in a commitment and a call for help to begin their restoration project.



"Just come," Morrison says, "rain or shine I'll be there. We can have as many volunteers as there are people called to help others."

The Band of Brothers includes volunteers Bobby Morrison, Danny Propes, John Ballou, Charles Sparks, Rev Tim Johnson, Adam Shephard, Bob Fishback, Jerry Compton, Rick Wilson, Dennis and Grant Loy, Don and Betty Sacks, Willard Prichard, Tom Adler, Ed Vincent, Matt Calvert, Bill Skaggs, Billy Hadley, Fred Miller, Chris Bragg, Vonnie Kolbenschlag, Bob Barnes, Roger Meadows, Terry White, Charles Barnes, Richard Phillips, Dwayne Martin, Grayson Bragg, and many others over the years of service given to helping people in times of need.

The historic landmark Rosenwald School, located beside Santa Fee Church in the Flatwoods of Adair County, will now join a long list of projects by the Band of Brothers including:

Hurricane relief, working with the Northbay Church of Christ disaster relief services in Texas; Mission house children's home in Ohio; house of love, handicap ramps Christian Church Park, Paz Holly House, Hungry house ministries, Cookson Hill Children's Home in Adair County, Oklahoma, and extensive projects at Columbia Christian Church.
