Turner Industries employees at the Paris, Texas Pipe Fabrication facility participated in a United Way Day of Caring project to erect a parking garage for the local American Red Cross chapter, simultaneously helping a Boy Scout on his way to becoming an Eagle Scout.

The "weld and erect” project was organized by Matthew Draeger, age 13, as part of his requirement to become an Eagle Scout. The framing project turned out to be more complex than originally anticipated, taking two days to complete, as each beam, cross piece and rafter had to be measured and cut to a different length. This completes the first phase of the project. Walls and a roof will be added in July to finish off the garage.

A big thank you to all our employees who helped make this project a success.
