Charlie Ward's Eagle Project
2020-10-14, 2020-10-07
Hi Troop 355!

My name is Charlie Ward, and I am announcing my Eagle Project. I am recruiting 10 lucky volunteers to make face shields to donate to the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center. We are going to have a week to complete all of the masks, and each volunteer can choose whatever time works best for them!

I am going to be uploading an action-packed Youtube video explaining how to create each mask. It takes around 10 minutes to create each one, so it will be around 3-4 hours for each volunteer. I’m going to zoom with each volunteer as well to make sure there are no problems and/or just to hang out and talk about life in general. In the materials bags, I am also going to be giving bags of candy and snacks to eat while doing the project!

I am going to deliver the materials on Wednesday, October 7th next week. One week later (October 14th) I will pick up all completed masks and deliver them to the medical center. I really appreciate it if you can sign up for the project. You can keep a couple of masks for your family if you choose to as well. Please sign up by Tuesday night if you can help so I know who to deliver materials to on Wednesday.
