FAA 391 students work with Eagles Nest

FAA 391 started their outreach weekend with a tour of Eagle’s Nest, a shelter for veterans that is currently in development. While at the site, we met with Martha Watts, the director of the organization, and she filled us in on the troubles they have had with previous contractors that have delayed the project’s completion. On Saturday, we returned to Eagle’s Nest where we met Ms. Suttle, a member of Martha’s board, and discussed potential landscape developments around the site. We then met Lily, the president of Dayton-Wedgewood, and George, another member of Martha’s board, and listened to their diverse concerns about political and economic corruption within the city. Afterwards, Lily provided us with delicious homemade chili and we prepared to pass out informational fliers about Eagle’s Nest around the neighborhood. While walking around, we met many friendly residents who voiced their concerns towards local issues. Lastly, we stopped at Pirtle’s Ice Cream on the way back to campus.
