So much got done in such a little time, thank you all for coming out. We had 14 volunteers who gave a total of over 48 hours of service time today. Thank you all for supporting me on this journey. Even though we had cold and rain on us we kept going and did something meaningful for our community. I don't know about you guys, but I am TIRED from what we did today.

Of course we also owe a big thank you also to the help and support from VA Beach Operations and Little Island Park Staff!

Good afternoon everyone,

As you may know, my eagle scout project is happening this Saturday, January 25th. The beach grass is getting to Little island park an hour early, or 8 am. So please get there as soon as you can. Also, it is supposed to be raining that morning, so dress for the weather!

Thank you all for volunteering.

Hello everyone! We are still working on a date for the grass planting, but had some free time today to go ahead and twist up the wire to hold the fence to the fenceposts thanks to my neighbor Mr Bob! Also big shoutout to the Mullins Gang for donating 25$ so I can get the extra pliers and wire shown below! Will keep y'all updated in the future.

January 25th 9 AM-1 PM I am trying to organize a grass planting at Little Island Park, please leave a comment on here if you can attend. If there is not enough attention to this, I will cancel it for that date and figure out a more reasonable date. Hey everybody, the first one of these was a fun time and a great success. This is phase 2 of my project and I need confirmation ahead of time, so PLEASE commit early. Please sign up, this will be a lot of fun!

YIS,

Charlie Gallion here, phase 1 of my eagle project was a success! It was a lot tougher than it looked like in the youtube videos we watched. I took four volunteers 2.5 hours to installed 4 sections of sand fencing at little island park which totalled 50 total feet of fencing! Thank you to Philip, Jonathan, Noah, and my dad and special thank you to Earl and Tim from VA beach parks and rec operations division who gave us great support and training on how to do this!
