Scout sign project completed: a letter of thanks

To Mayor Hoots and Columbia City Council,

Thank you for your support throughout my Eagle Scout project. I cannot attend the City Council meeting Monday night because of a prior commitment, but I wanted to share some details with you about it.

I really learned a lot about leadership, and I am grateful that you gave me the opportunity to work on the sign.

My whole troop came and volunteered. They did a wonderful job helping to put up the sign.



I am glad that we could make a difference in our community and help to make it a better place. I am also thankful for your financial support for my project and the words of encouragement that I received.

Donations included:

- City of Columbia, $800 (Gabe sending a list of materials needed to the Mayor)

- Columbia Adair Chamber Of Commerce, $200

- David Breeding and Sign America for printing the sign and assistance in construction

- Trifecta Print for providing the City logo design

- Property owner Carol Cheatham Mira for positive support for continued use of her family's land.

Thank you for your support and confidence.

Sincerely,
Gabe Coleman
