Welcome to Startex Sign
Come out & meet Brycen Morrison this Saturday
This Fabulous sign is what Brycen Morrison was able to accomplish for the Startex Tucapau Mills Community as his Eagle Scout Project.
This is an outstanding example of use of his skills, talent, resources and knowledge…..not to mention a beautiful addition to our community. This newly erected sign is located on South Main Street, just across the road from the soccer fields.
Using over 500 reclaimed bricks from Startex – Tucapau Mill, Brycen accomplished this project in record time and within budget.
From an idea, to concept, design, vendor selection, construction management and volunteer management…..All the way to the finished product. This “Welcome to Startex-Tucapau” sign was all Brycen Morrison.
We will be dedicating Brycen’s awesome “Welcome to Startex- Tucapau” sign at our Clean-Up Day lunch this Saturday, April, 22nd.
Come on out for Free Lunch….meet Brycen and thank him for his hard work and dedication to the Startex Community and
becoming our areas newest EAGLE SCOUT.
