Introduction-
As a school, we recognize and embrace the importance of community service, of giving of ourselves to enhance our world. In fact, according to DoSomething.org, 93% of teens say they want to volunteer. So, we want to try to find an authentic community service project with which we can invest. Our Avilla community, population 125, currently has only one business, Bernie’s, along famed Route 66; however, the old furniture store, across the highway from Bernie’s, is available to lease/purchase. Might it be possible to combine the available store and our vision for community service?
