Jody is Fearless!
by Emma Eaton
Jody is there to answer the call for help.
It could be a child who has potential without means to further their education, a crumbling building, a friend who needs a reason to laugh. . .
She boldly gets involved when she sees an opportunity to make lives better. Albany has been her home for 53 years. Jody and Randy lived in their 1885 English Queen Anne in the Hackleman District while they pursued their careers and raised their family. During that time they also restored five other historic buildings! "If it is old, falling down and especially needing a paint job, it is our jam," she says.
Our Mission
To preserve Albany's heritage by restoring Albany's Cumberland church building and to promote the social well-being of the community by re-purposing it as a community events center.
