A Peggy Crosby Thank You
Written By: Donna Rhodes | Issue: July 2024
Thanks to its generous partners, The Peggy keeps racking up successes, even in the midst of the busiest season of a busy year.
We keep saying it, but it never feels like enough: We are grateful to you for being a tremendous part of Peggy’s mission.
Recently, we at The Peggy Crosby Center have been able to make invaluable improvements to our facility: LED lighting, carpets, upgrades for the parking area, and new plantings for the Pollinator Garden.
The Cullasaja Women’s Club helped keep us under the same roof, literally-speaking. Better put, it helped keep a roof at all on Peggy’s pate. CWC also donated money for the new LED lighting throughout the Peggy Crosby Center building. These exceptional lights brighten not only the offices and hallways, but our spirits. Another bonus, the new lights are cost-effective, lowering our monthly energy bills noticeably. Huzzah!
From ceiling to floor, we are grateful to Mountain Findings for giving us footing with new carpeting in three offices used by The Land Trust. This is what we mean: what you give us doesn’t stop with us or even our building. It builds connections. One link connects to another, then another, and pretty soon, the whole community is benefitting from what your fund raising, donations, and more have contributed. Zowie!
The parking lot’s good ol’ railroad ties have played a huge service to tenants and visitors for decades, but it’s time to retire them. The Laurel Garden Club provided funds for their replacement, but this time it will be lovely stonework tied, as it were, to the theme of gardens, pollinators, Mother Nature and the natural elements of the land. The Garden Club also provided upgrades for new plantings around the building including the Pollinator Garden. Yahoo!
We’re going to keep saying it: Thank you, thank you, thank you. And for all our huzzahs, zowies, and yahoos, it still falls short in thanking you for keeping Peggy healthy, thriving, and reliable for those who need it most. Donations keep our energy flowing in so many ways. Lowering costs make our rents affordable to our tenants. We thank you for your part in providing this vital role for our community on the plateau.
