Groundbreaking! … Finally!

I am so excited to have had such a great turnout and show of support for the new building! We had over sixty wonderful people from our community come out and support us on this truly momentous occasion. I know it is only a fraction of the people who made this all possible but being mid-afternoon, it was hard for people to get away during the day. So I would like to thank the people who attended and everyone who has ever donated to the LCYC. I have a general list but it is simply impossible to list everyone as there are so many. We would like to offer a special thanks to our top donors, First Presbyterian Church, the Lehman Foundation, and their trustees, Bluebonnet electric, Mike York, Capital Area Housing Financial (Rep. Maurice Pitts), numerous local churches ( and a couple not so local), banks, and hundreds and hundreds of personal donations from all over this country!

We also could not have done it without the help guidance and support of lots of contractors and engineers. We would like to especially thank Jason Locke from JB Locke Construction, Greg Davis from Tobias and Davis architecture planning, Steven Kieschnick from K and K Custom Green homes, and Mike Jatzlau from Jatzlau Construction. These all worked with Larry Orsag together to get the final plans that we have today.

We are so thankful for this community for all of their support and I look forward to more in the future. There is work to be done in order for us to open for the upcoming school year. If you have any skills in painting or talents that would help us lower costs or even just some time to help move things please reach out to us! the time has come for volunteers. We will still need the help and support of this community to get things done, but I know we are all up for the challenge and together we will make Lee County a better place.
