Making and Refurbishing Tule
Entrance Signs |
 |
I
first worked at Tule Ponds for the service component of my freshman
benchmark project. The Math Science Nucleus was extremely helpful and
thorough in communicating its needs, so I always looked forward to
working for the organization again. It was thus a privilege to carry out
my Eagle project at Tule Ponds. My project’s goal was to beautify and
increase the visibility of Tule Ponds to passerby; the team accomplished
this by creating a new sign for the Tule Ponds’s Litchfield Avenue
entrance and embellishing two of the Walnut Avenue entrance’s existing
signs, to one of which we also installed a stone retaining wall
flowerbed.

The
project was far from a one-man job, and I would like to thank everybody
who assisted me in its execution. The following youth were amazing
workers who completed their tasks more efficiently than I could have
ever hoped for: Avi Gulati, Justin Nguyen,
Andrew Lam,
Angus Lam, Patrick Rivera,
Richard Williams,
Arnav Kamra,
Tarun Devesetti, Ishan Sastry,
Bryant Lim,
Dylan Lim,
Wesley Lee, Vivek Vijaykumar,
Arnav Nagle,
Rahul Toppur, Ankur Samanta,
Udayan Mandal,
Hugh Smith, Jerry Lin,
Jeffrey Lin,
Shrey Vasavada, Jonathan
Nguyen, and Rukmini Bose.
Adults Mr. Steve Wilson,
Mr. Craig Cooper,
Mr. Rich Cummins, Mr. Viet
Nguyen, Mrs. Kakali Roy,
and Mr. Sankar Bose provided
invaluable help not only during the various project phases but also
throughout my entire scouting career.
Mr. Rick Nygren,
Mr. Merl Nygren, and
Mr. Skip Phair took the time
out of their busy schedules to review and approve my paperwork.
Dale Hardware, McIvor’s
Hardware, Lowe’s, and
Prismatic Signs provided
assistance, advice, and materials without which the project would have
never been executed--I recommend these businesses to anyone. Finally, I
thank Dr. Blueford and the
entire Math Science Nucleus
for once again being an incredible organization to work for. I owe the
current success of my path to Eagle to all of you.
