The project is a significant part of the ceremony to honor residents who have been touched by cancer. On Thursday morning, the project and the RSVP volunteers were also a recognized with a proclamation for the Mayor's National Service Recognition Day. County Commissioner Brandon Dodds and Eaton Corp Luminary Co-Chair Courtney Boone joined RSVP Director Carolyn Finley and RSVP Coordinator Shirley Criswell at the event.
