Home builders praised for efforts at raising Joseph Sams School

Dennis Floyd, president of the Home Builders

Association of Midwest Georgia, has extended praise to members of

the association who participated in the recent old fashioned

"barn raising" at the Joseph Sams School in Fayetteville.

Floyd said the co-cordinators for the representatives of

the home builders group were Jeff Ellis of Community

Development Corp. and Doug Walker of Walker Concrete.

The volunteers from the association included Curt

Hirsch and Tommy Thomas from Alley Cassetty Brick; Randy

Hayes (team leader), Nick Furey, Robbie Morgan, Cal McShan

and Steve Hanel from Hayes Development Corp.; Brent

Scarbrough from Brent Scarbrough & Company Inc.; Richard Simms

(team leader), James Dozier, Clarence Walker, Sam Norton and

Jeff Parrott from Richard Simms Homes; Robin Keesal,

executive officer of the association; John Hayes (team leader), Jerry

Davis, Adam Rogers, Chris Cull and Juaquin Chavez from

Torrey Homes; Dell Walker from Harris-Walker Trucking; Ernie

Kearns from Earnie Kearns Nationwide Insurance Agency; Jeff

Betsill (team leader) and Jason Betsill from Jeff Betsill Homes;

Jerry Tedder from Jerry Tedder Company; and Bob Barnard

(team leader) from Barnard & Associates.

The team leaders are all members of the local home

builders association's board of directors.

Donating products were Home Depot (Terry

Escalena); Williams Brothers (Chuck Mooney); Metro Builders

Supply (Keith Benson); Central Builders Supply (Al Gilbert);

Plymart (Dale Mastly); Walker Concrete (Doug Walker); Greg

Holland Inc. (Greg Holland); and Carolina Builders (Jim Stansbury).

Floyd said that special thanks go to the framers, Joe

Cook of JDC Construction and Paul Boylen of Southern Framing.

The association's volunteers joined a large group of

other volunteers from the community to help raise the walls and do

the framing for the school's new 8,000 sq. ft. building, located at

the intersection of Yorktown Drive and Brandywine

Boulevard across the street from Fayette Medical Clinic.

The Joseph Sams School provides comprehensive

education to pre-school, elementary, middle, and high school

students with developmental disabilities.
