Boy Scouts of America Salute Jerry Overaa
This year the 28th Annual Construction Industry Lunch-O-Ree of the Boy Scouts of America honored on of our very own, Jerry Overaa. This benefit, put on by the San Francisco Bay Area Council, seeks to congratulate community leaders in the local region. Thousands gathered, including Mark Curtis of KTVU News, at the renowned San Francisco Marriott to show their support and applaud Jerry's efforts to better the community.
A former Boy Scout himself, Jerry is a hands-on dynamic Bay Area community member. With deliberate intention, Jerry directs his personal time and resources-and his company's time and resources-toward various leadership activities in his community. His spirit of goodwill and enthusiasm are contagious as his example encourages his fellow workers and peers to actively participate in community and industry endeavors.
The luncheon included various speeches from noteworthy advocates of the Boy Scouts of America. A consistent thread throughout the program was the positive influence that the Boy Scouts give to young people of all different backgrounds by providing them with the building blocks of character development. Without a word the message was clearly received by an audience as diverse as the Boy Scouts. Finally, Jerry gave an acceptance speech that rounded out the luncheon by drawing a correlation between the construction industry and the Boys Scouts of America.
In coordination with the event, we too salute Jerry and his significant contribution of time and talent to the construction industry and the community. |
