Spearheaded a street lighting initiative in the Ridgecrest Manor neighborhood of HHNA; Coordinated with City engineers and Entergy
Under the direction of Blanca Hernandez, with the Pulaski County Cooperative Extension Service, HHNA volunteers painted wrought iron patio furniture and handrails near the raised gardens at Williams Magnet school. Several dedicated HHNA volunteers spent numerous hot summer days spreading truckloads of mulch and crushed gravel around the garden beds. This has made for a more manageable and walkable surface for the students, teachers and volunteers. We also must credit a young boy named Joseph (a former student of Williams Magnet) who was walking by the gardens at Williams one day and asked if he could help. We gladly obliged. Thank you, Joseph, your service to your neighborhood and former school is greatly appreciated!
