Scott Bradley of My Brothers Workshop spoke to Rotarians at their weekly meeting on Thursday, July 25. The local non-profit organization provides trade skills to troubled youth in carpentry, masonry, electrical and plumbing. Recent additions to the program include tutoring and GED classes. Bradley, who has previously spoken to the club, returned to thank it for its generous support and to share one of the success stories.
Two students who are completing the carpentry program are forming their own furniture making business. The students/entrepreneurs, Latoi and Timythie, were also present. Bradley will continue to mentor and support them, and he encouraged Rotarians to consider them for any small projects they may need.
He also shared photographs of some of the recent projects the students have completed like building dining room tables, chess tables, a podium and a raffle drawing barrel –the last two were commissioned by local Rotary Clubs — as well as roof work being done at their new location, the former nursery near Plaza Extra. He credits Rotarians for the financial support enabling them to obtain needed tools for the students to use.
