Memmott, 13, son of Melvin and and Nancy Memmott, of Bountiful, has spent this holiday season doing his Eagle project. In keeping with the holiday spirit, Jared chose to create grandparents for people in his ward. He called his project 'Adopt a grandparent for the holidays.' He visited five rest homes in Bountiful and got ' the names of residents who would enjoy having a 'family' for the season. He asked the residents some questions about their likes, hobbies, etc. Jared then sent letters to people in his ward, lining them up with the residents and ultimately came up with matches mat-ches for between 40 and 50 families. 'I thought it (the project) was a great experience for me and the rest home residents got a lot out of it because they don't get many visitors, 'said Jared. In the letter he sent, he told the families in his ward that he hoped this visit would lead to more visits and a friendship throughout the year. |
