C-Hill Foundation readies repairs for Carson City hillside landmark, volunteers sought for help
A local couple's efforts to get the flag on C-Hill in Carson City repaired is well underway, with the president of the C-Hill Foundation working on getting the needed material.
Foundation President Dan Mooney, who is the original manufacturer of the flag, is actively working on repairing flag material from his shop in Minden. The foundation is accepting donations, which can be made by contacting Mooney at (775) 240-1316 or email: Nevada4@aol.com
The couple who are spearheading efforts to get people up on the hill to help Mooney, Terry and Tara Kilfian of Breaking Addiction Ministries, are seeking volunteers to help with the efforts to help move the material when Mooney is ready fabricating the new panels.
The efforts came about after the couple were hiking C-Hill, noticed damage done to the tiles, and wanted to help with repair efforts. Go here for original story.
People who wish to help with the labor efforts can call them at (775) 508-6063 or (909) 301-9441 and breakingaddictionministries@gmail.com.
Through natural weather cycles and some minor vandalism, the condition of the flag is waning and in need of repairs, something that the foundation will take on.
Carson City will soon likely see the results of a long-held tradition of the changing of the C on the hillside — often done surreptitiously overnight — to reflect the senior graduating class year. And then, a few weeks (sometimes a couple months) later, it gets changed back. As of Sunday, the C remains as is.
