Volunteer Work

In an effort to promote my business and get used to all this new equipment, I am doing all the volunteer projects I can handle.   I'm fabricating and installing nine floor vents and twelve outside window guards for The Historic Riverview Cemetery. The Friends of The Historic Riverview Cemetery need all the help they can get.  I recently fabricated an outdoor air conditioner condenser guard for The Lower Brandywine Presbyterian Church on Route #52 in front of Winterthur.

I have donated several of my pieces to worthwhile charities.  I have donated an arbor to the Food Bank of Delaware (Newark, DE), an arbor the Biggs Museum (Dover, DE) and another one to the Helen Graham Cancer Center (Newark, DE) that recently went for silent auction held at the Hotel DuPont.  I donated a plant stand to benefit the Brandywine Conservancy to be auctioned at the Radnor Hunt Club. I have offered volunteer welding work to over a hundred non-profit organizations.

If you know of a deserving non profit that needs some help, I'm your man. I'll extend that offer to resident in need as well. If you know of someone who needs a handicap ramp, railing or fire escape repair let me know I'll see what I can do.

     
  If you work for Graydie Welding you also either donate blood or better yet platelettes. My wife has donated platelettes 25 times and I've donated platelettes 20 times. It only takes an hour and a half and it's a productive way to relax for a short time.  
     
This is a letter I received from Vicky Cooke, Executive Director of the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition thanking me for a donation for a benefit.
     
This is one of the 7 floor are vents I fabricated with stainless steel for Riverview Cemetery.
This is a window guard I made for Riverviews Mausoleum. It's solid steel. When FHRC approves this design I'll do the other eleven.
The Friends of Historic Riverview Cemetery asked me to add mesh to the window guards on the mausoleum to prevent animals from entering.
     
     
OMG - the lawn art you donated for our October auction has been on display in the DBCC window on 11th Street since we picked it up from you.  People have stopped in and commented on it and we have given out your information. Our board members are already in a bidding war.   I have made a sign and put it on the item showing that it was donated by you and your contact info.  Do you have a flyer of your own that you would prefer us to use - we would be happy to attach it to the art?   I have also sent your link out to my friends and they have posted on their Facebooks.   The garden gate has been mounted and now resides on my living room wall - I LOVE IT.   Thank you so very much for your generosity, but mostly for your kindness.

This is the arbor I donated to a benefit for The Helen Graham Cancer Center, held at The Hotel DuPont. I'll rent these for weddings. I was told recently that this arbor is at the cancer center in Newark Delaware, although I haven't seen for myself.
This is the A/C guard I fabricated for the church on Route #52 across from Winterthur, The Lower Brandywine Presbyterian Church. It wasn't until I volunteered here that I found one whole side of my family is buried here.
This is the Thank You letter I recieved from Irenee and Diane duPont for donating the garden arbor to the fund raiser for The Helen Graham Cancer Center held at The Hotel DuPont in Wilmington Delaware.
