2022 Special Project – Helping Hands

Hello friends of the Brasstown Community Center,

May 2022 – We received a grant in late 2021 to build an outdoor gazebo between the doors of the new schoolhouse annex. The gazebo is part of our Helping Hands project that will be used to distribute food from local farmers to families in need. We will partnering up with others to make this happen in 2022!

The gazebo could also be used for outdoor concerts and other events in the future. We are happy to report that the work has begun in the smallest way by digging up the areas needed for cement foundations! As the work continues, we will update this post…

July 2022 – We want to thank Greg Teems, his son Tyler and daughter Mavis (site supervisor!), and Abraham Patrick for their hard work during the construction of this beautiful addition to the Community Center. And thank you Clay Logan for coordinating the work, getting and paying for supplies and keeping us organized!

There are a few finishing touches – indoor-outdoor carpet, electrical connections, trim work around the fans on the annex building, and a picnic table – to complete this project, but we are so pleased to have this part of the project completed.

August 2022 – The safety lattice and fans are installed and painted and the construction of the gazebo is COMPLETE!

Thank you to all the hard work put in by the contractors and our project manager – his dedication to the community center is greatly appreciated.
