It Takes a Village. 🖤
There is so much happening behind the scenes right now, and these pictures capture something that means a lot to Jeff and Amanda, the incredible people who have stepped up to help us bring our new home to life.
Today, Eric Meredith got our metal Iron Valley Fitness sign hung, and seeing it on that wall was definitely one of those “this is really happening” moments.
But that sign is only a tiny piece of what’s been happening.
Nicole Meredith and Melissa Williams have been right there helping wherever and whatever is needed. Steve and Reid Collie have been busy in the locker rooms hanging bathroom partitions. Mark Phillips has been priming, painting and moving heavy equipment. Kelli Maxwell and Dave McDonald tackled priming and painting in the other bathroom, Bruce and Brenda Peart have been doing everything from technology and painting to cleaning windows, wiping things down and helping with the finishing touches and interior design.
And then there are Ian and Sherry Lerette, our proud property owners and truly the definition of do-it-allers. They have been there from sunup to sundown, working alongside everyone and doing whatever needs to be done to make sure our dream becomes a reality. There really aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for them. We simply couldn’t do this without them.
And somehow, in the middle of all of it, there’s Jeff and Amanda, trying to keep all the moving pieces moving. 😂
Friends. Family. Employees. Members. People showing up after work, getting dirty, picking up a paintbrush, lifting something heavy or simply asking, “What can I do?”
That is community.
Iron Valley may have our names on the paperwork, but this new home is being built with the fingerprints of so many incredible people.
We see every single one of you. We appreciate you more than you know. And we absolutely could not be doing this without you. 🖤
Almost home, Iron Valley. 🔨💪
Forge Your Strength.
