Saturday we dedicated two structures in memory of two young ladies who left us too early in life. Our chimney swift tower is dedicated in Memory of Janiece Vitek. Janiece was killed while attending college in San Marcos. She loved birds and had a deep concern for all wildlife. The picture on top shows her mom, Glenda, holding the bow after the ribbon cutting, good family friend John Hirschi who assisted me in holding the ribbon, and her father John. Missi's Mew is dedicated in Memory of Britani Maye Gossett. Britani was killed in a tragic plane crash two years ago. The ribbon is held by Lila Arnold on the left, our Assitant Director and a former teacher of Britani's, and Board Vice-President Terry McKee. Her Grandmother, Melanie Gossett is cutting the ribbon and her grandparents, Roby & Renee Christie, are behind Melanie along with other family members. The Chimney Swift tower was funded in part by the Vitek family and the general community. Construction was by WBR volunteer Brian Miller. Landscaping by Rehabber Penny Miller. Missi's Mew was funded by the Gossett family, Christie family, Barwise Student Council, students at Jefferson Elementary and the general community. The concrete footing was built by Kynan Franke for his Boy Scout Eagle Award and the enclosure was constructed by the Navy Seabees at Sheppard AFB. Landscaping by Rehabber Steve Pruitt. We wish to thank all who assisted and all those who participated in Saturday's event.
