The Knight were approached about assisting one of their parishioners of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in the Scarborough Community.
Some background on the family. Henry and Lavada Chisholm moved to Oak Ridge in the mid ’40’s, when Henry “Muscle Man” began working at Y-12 doing concrete work and Lavada worked as a hairdresser for the ladies of the community. Henry began doing concrete work outside of Y-12, so if you lived in the area in the 50’s through the 80’s and had concrete poured it’s likely that he was there. They have been prominent members of their church, Mt. Zion, since they arrived and helped many folks in the community. Sadly Henry passed away some time ago and their home has fallen into disrepair and Lavada (95) is unable to get around the outside of her house. Members of Mt. Zion have done quite a bit of the repair, however, this job is larger then they are able to handle on their own.
The job. Demoing about 200 square feet of concrete sidewalks around the home and disposing of it. Prep and create form for new concrete and pour and finish it.
The “prep” weekend, with members from Oak valley Baptist Church, Mt Zion Baptist Church, and St. Mary’s Knights (Ray A, Dave Z, Robert H, Chip D and Dennis U):
