Eagle Scout - Digital Sign Dedication held on May 6th 2024
In a heartwarming display of community collaboration, Nick Pier, a dedicated member of B.S.A. Troop 58, has recently completed a pivotal Eagle Scout project in Rochester. This initiative stands as a testament to the power of local involvement, where the collective efforts of the Rochester Public Library, Village of Rochester, scouts, parents, and numerous local businesses have come together to create a lasting impact.
The project centered on designing and installing a new digital sign that serves as a beacon of information for the Rochester community. This achievement required planning and execution, including fundraising, stakeholder coordination, and the physical construction of both the sign and its surrounding landscape.
Nick’s initiative received widespread support from various pillars of the community including the Rochester Public Library District, Rochester Village, and the Friends of the Rochester Library. Local businesses and organizations like The Pet Doctor, Cocoa Blue, Dollars & Cents, Remarkable Resale, Greenies Grill, Bank and Trust Co., Mockingbird Bakery, Rochester Hardware & Rental, Beginning Steps, Jostes Garage, The Elks Lodge 158, Fehring Ornamental Ironworks, J. Martin Brothers LLC, and Peace & Appliqué Quilt Shop played crucial roles in providing the necessary funds and resources.
In addition, the project saw contributions from private individuals Wayne and Diana Graham, Marty and Diana Fairchild, Tony Schienschang, Daniel P. Morris, Cynda Wrightsman, Harry Hendrickson, Brett and Wendi Pier, and Scott Swinford. Thank you for your generous donations.
The Library would also like to thank Kimberly Kurtenbach, Library Board Trustee and B.S.A. Troop Leader, for her help in facilitating this amazing project.
The dedication ceremony for the digital sign was a moment of pride and celebration for all involved, marking a significant milestone in community cooperation and youth leadership.
This project not only marks Nick’s achievement of the prestigious Eagle Scout rank, but also signifies the strength and unity of the Rochester community.
Janet McAllister, Director Rochester Public Library District
