Yes ... the Aaron Eilerts Day of Service and Giving is an inspiration to me and also to Iowa. The Lord gently used Aaron to teach me that SERVING and GIVING is "Where It's At!" In my Advanced training as a Boy Scout leader in March 2009, I will be starting a WoodBadge Project (which could take 9 months to 1.5 years to complete). My goal is to improve the Operations of my Scout Troop in some real way (BSA Troop 478, Istrouma Council, Tunica District). I hereby dedicate MY Service Project in honour of dear Aaron. May the Lord be with you guys in Eagle Grove, and especially with Bob & Carol.
