The Problem

My Eagle Scout service project is related to a tornado disaster which devastated the town of Hallam, NE, including the town church, in our county in 2004. I guided a dozen youth scouts, and volunteering adults, in completing an inventory of over 1,000 items, for Vine Congregational Church which was a sister church to Hallam's. All duplicate items from this inventory would be donated to the Hallam Church, so they might rebuild, and start anew. I was the chairman and initiator of taking this detailed inventory. To include; finding adequate inventory software, and digital photo and computer equipment for implementing records. Working on finding volunteers to assist in recording of all church items. Finding someone to estimate the cost of each item, including catalog current prices, and estimation of older items, and their replacement value. Then I presented the completed information to church advisor's, preparing a printed and CD back-up copies for the church and their insurance company. Advisor's would now have the correct information to start the donation process.
