Eagle Scout thanks his helpers

I am Ryan Swisher, and I was just awarded my Eagle Scout rank. I have been involved in scouting since I was in first grade at White Oak Elementary School. I am now a junior at Northgate High School, and I would like to acknowledge my gratitude to those who have helped me achieve this goal.

I want to thank my parents who never had doubts that I could do this. My Scoutmaster Will Taylor, my Eagle Advisor Tim Wilder, Dr. Reddekopp and Mr. Harrison, my principal and assistant principal at Northgate, all provided valuable guidance.

I'd like to thank the scouts and my youth group at Saint Mary Magdalene Catholic Church who worked on my project. Had it not been for these youth, my project would not have been successful. Ellis Cadenhead at the Coweta County Water Authority and Mr. Sprayberry, thank you for your generosity in allowing me to hold car washes for my project fundraising.

Finally, thank you to all of the people who came and let us wash their cars. Without you, I wouldn't have exceeded my fund-raising goal, and I would not have been able to be successful with my project.
