Community Spotlight: Eddie Gavin
We want to shine a spotlight of gratitude on Eddie Gavin, long-time member of the TCS community. Eddie has been working hard for a few weeks to make sure our building is ready for the students next Wednesday. He owns his own home improvement company, making him the perfect man for the job. Eddie has helped with every major TCS building project over the last 40 plus years.
Tom and Eddie were next-door neighbors in the 1970’s on 27th street, and in 1977 when Eddie was just 12 years old, he helped start the founding organization that would become The Community School. Eddie has been consistently involved in the organization ever since, and today he serves on our Board of Trustees. In fact, the Gavins’ involvement with TCS is a family affair. Four generations of the family have been involved including Eddie’s son who is a TCS graduate. Eddie’s brothers, Timmy and Kenny, and son Michael have been here working on the building as well. Eddie’s son Ryan, who also serves on the Board, has volunteered several evenings this past week to make sure the computers are set up for the start of school.
Thank you so much, Gavin family, for all that you do – and happy birthday, Eddie! We appreciate you a lot!
