Activity/responsibility:

The City of Kingsport has purchased the old Lynn View Middle School and we will be converting it into a new community center as a beginning of the revitalization of the Lynn Garden area. The projects that have been outlined for the day will include moving furniture and whiteboards, painting old classrooms, replacing windows, cleaning outside surrounding building, trash and leaf removal, and basic carpentry and repairs. We hope to link arms with as many organizations and faiths within our community that would like to assist us in this effort, as well as the general public and neighbors of the surrounding area.  If you or your organization would like to be a part of Day of Service 2010 for Kingsport, please contact us using the form below.
