Suggested Sources for Projects
- Local City Manger, County, State and Federal Agencies. Try contacting the parks and recreation board, or police chief.
- Schools (don’t forget elementary schools). Try contacting the principal, PTO, teachers (for both construction projects and special programs), and the board of education.
- Religious Institutions. Don’t forget church related facilities for retired church workers, orphanages, and other religious service organizations.
