Special Projects for North Hills Child ServicesBeginning with the collection of toys for the school's 2003 Christmasparty, Sylvan Hills Masonic Lodge #754 adopted North Hills Child Services in Sherwood as an on-going community service project. Sylvan Hills Masonic Lodge #754 works with the professional staff to provide needed volunteer work, from "handyman" fix up work, building needed furniture for classrooms, to refurbishing a play ground that the school had been forced to abandon due to safety concerns. North Hills North Hills Child Services provides pre-school care for approximately 85 special needs children, ranging in age from 6 months to school-age. The Lodge is honored to be able to help in these efforts. 
Larry Williams, Joe Reynolds, and Tom Murphy worked with ladies from the Little Rock Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction to refurbish some of the classroom furniture. 
Together with the Ladies from the National Association of Women in Construction, the brethren of Sylvan Hills Masonic Lodge #754 completed furniture restoration, painting projects, plus built and installed new cabinets in the laundry area, replaced light bulbs, and moved several yards of pea gravel into a play area that the school had not been able to utilize due to the lack of a safe ground cover. Steve Love worked on the shelving and T. J. checked lights & fans.
Moving the gravel was slow and hot.
Until Mike Craig brought his wheelbarrow!
