Building for the future: Tool Time draws TC grads
Approximately 45 alumni, friends, parents and current students of Tabor College joined in the effort to beautify the campus during the eighth annual Tool Time held Friday and Saturday, July 11 and 12.
The leadership team of Abilene's Community Bible Church youth group saw this as a service project opportunity. The Servant and Leader Training (SALT) students included Amber Book, Kyle McCook, Tamara Dalton, Laura Barbur and Ashley Wondra. Sponsors who traveled with the leadership group were Tabor graduates John and Lisa Regier.
Other volunteers painted residence hall trim in the Women's Quad, painted the Campus Recreation Center lobby, landscaped outside of Cedar Hall and the Student Center, cleaned the library, removed a ceiling in preparation for the new athletic training room and replaced fencing behind the Student Center.
Steve Berg, director of alumni and Tool Time coordinator, said it was gratifying to see so many volunteers with various Tabor connections rally together on these projects.
"Alumni from as early as the fifties worked with alumni who just graduated this past May, and the parents who worked this weekend invested a little more of themselves," he said. "The lasting benefit of Tool Time is the relationships that are made while working on a project together. People leave with a sense of pride having helped add value to the Tabor campus."
