HALL'S MR. FIX-IT: DAVID WHICHARD
(Posted 11-2-09)
Ivy Hall has some of the most
caring, conscientious residents in all of Mount Pleasant.
Case in point: David Whichard.
Whichard, husband of POA Board member Rebekah Whichard, recently
repainted our mildew-stained message board and repaired a broken wooden
frame on one of our common-area garbage cans.
Nobody asked him to perform the services, and he sought out no payment
or attention for them. In fact, he'd prefer if nobody knew. He just
wanted to help out the neighborhood.
Well, David, sorry to blow your cover. We're just awfully glad you're
part of our Ivy Hall community. THANK YOU!
