Collin's Animal Shelter Project
Donation protected
Dear Family/ Friend,
As you may know, I have been in Scouting since the first grade. I started as a Tiger in Cub Scouts and after ten years in scouting, I am now working on my Eagle Rank with Troop 61 in Houston, Texas. One of my final requirements to earn Eagle rank is to do an Eagle Scout project. An Eagle Scout project requires me to plan out a project, recruit volunteers, acquire the materials, and act as the leader of the project.
My project will benefit the Special Pals Animal shelter in West Houston, Texas. Special Pals has been in operation since 1979 and provides medical care for all of the shelter animals and is able to continue operating as a no-kill shelter, mostly because of the support of the community. My project is to build 18 custom windows for the dog shelter facility. The windows are 3’ x 8’ in size. The openings need to be enclosed with windows to prevent the cool air from the newly installed AC system escaping out of the openings. My project with benefit the sheltered dogs by providing a cool, safe environment, as well as the shelter by helping lower the monthly electricity bill.
I started my project planning in April 2015 and hope to have it completed by the end of June 2015. My project will require that we build custom-size frames to hold two glass windows. By using windows, the shelter will be able to continue to have sunlight enter the shelter. The windows can be opened in the winter to allow for cool air to enter and have the air condition system turned off, saving on electricity. Once the frames are complete, I will have to paint them and install the system in the existing openings. The new windows should last a life time, with minimum maintenance.
In order to make my project a reality, I am asking for the financial support of family and friends. I have estimated that the cost of my project will be about $2,500. If you are willing and able to donate to my project, I would be greatly appreciative. Any amount, even $10, would help me complete my project and ultimately earn my Eagle Rank in Scouting and help the Special Pals no-kill shelter.
You can also donate by check. Please make the check out to Troop 61 and mail to Mike Viator, 12219 Summerland Ridge Lane, Houston, Texas 77041.
