February 1, 2016 we celebrated the groundbreaking at the new Kiddie Academy site in Virginia Beach. This was a social occasion for everyone not just our wonderful clients, David and Judy Martin. What wondeful people. They were so excited. They make my job so much fun. Of course they were ecstatic about all that surrounded this specific event as it was their very own "baby." Their first such venture. Wonderful friends and family showed up in support. I love that!
It was special for IONIC as well. We have done a gazillion buildings, but we don't often that we get to be involved in such an event as a groundbreaking. We were privileged to be asked to participate. It turned out to be a beautiful day after having to be postponed a few weeks when the snow storm attacked us here at the beach. It was nice for the weather to cooperate with us.
David Martin gave a few words about their project and welcomed the guests before introducing the participants. Eugene Thompson shared a few words about the first meeting with the Martins and thanked the entire team; it would not have been possible without them. Virginia Beach's Mayor Will Sessoms gave a few words and congratulated all for their success. Afterwards, a prayer of thanksgiving and then on to the ground breaking.
Jokingly, we were beyond breaking ground at that point as the background shows. We had the slab poured and the steel erected already. The beginning of the wood framing started to blossom that morning. The general contractor Mackenzie Construction, was taking full advantage of the kind weather and had made excellent progress.
We thank all those that were involved in the planning of the project to get us this far. We are all excited to see it unfold in the coming weeks and months towards completion. Stayed tuned for additional updates on our website, Facebook and Twitter!
