The Day's Program
Today, Christian Stevens, BSA and Eagle Scout Candidate, presented his plans for his Eagle Scout project. Christian is a junior at Carmel Catholic HS. His passions are art, technology, track and video games (he is a bi-athlete - track and e-sports). Applying his passions, Christian's plan for his Eagle Project is to give the family room at A Safe Place a serious upgrade. That would update the current television, have another for videogames, create a play area for toddlers and an art corner. The cushions on the chairs have seen better days and there is a plan for new ones. His goal is make this space a room to service all members of the family and provide familiar activities for the children. He also plans to make a wooden coffee table for the room at the seating area. His budget is $6.000 and so far has reached $4,200. Donations can be made by using this link: https://asafeplaceforhelp.org/get-involved/donate-now/  (please include Christian Stevens' Eagle Project) or by using the QR code:
