The Last Roast
It’s hard to believe our team has yet another Pig Roast under its belt. Although our final Pig Roast together was bittersweet, we also felt incredibly proud to witness and celebrate everyone’s accomplishments.
Starting at 8:30am, we caravanned nonstop from Newbern to Moundville to Faunsdale and back. We visited each of the ongoing projects and even stopped at the recently-completed Faunsdale Community Center. The last, and hopefully not least, stop of the day was our project!
For our presentation, Sarah, Chelsea, and Kenny donned their jumpsuits (which are meant to keep our clothing value constant during our occupancy), while Michael “accidentally” slept through guests’ arrival and jumped out of the home to join us.
We provided the audience with a brief explanation of our project and then gave everyone a chance to tour our recently-finished home.
The day concluded with open houses at Chantilly for Elena’s 5th-year chairdrawing class and at the Woodshop for Steve’s 3rd-year chair building class. Then, everyone meandered to Chantilly for roasted pig, catfish, hushpuppies, and more. For the evening ceremony, Andrew figuratively roasted the current 5th-year thesis students, Emily bid farewell to her wonderful assistant coordinator Alex, and illustrious Todd and Billie Tsien both gave inspirational valedictorian speeches to all the students and their families.
We’d like to thank Johnny yet again for the most magnificent fireworks show and the bands, Alabama Blues Project followed by Debbie Bonds with Radiator Rick and featuring Little Jimmy Reed, for such quality dancin’ tunes.
Thank you Todd and Billie,
The 20Kv22 Team
