Tornado Relief

Saturday, April 16, 2011 will long be remembered by Wilson residents and many others throughout eastern and central North Carolina.  Reminiscent of the March 1984 tornadoes that ravaged the area, our hearts are saddened that precious lives have been lost and that many families are now homeless.  We continue to pray for those whose lives have been altered forever ... believing that our God will heal and restore.

Not immune to the havoc wreaked by this storm, our own Bartlett family has been affected.  The photo to the left shows what remains of Exclusive Cleaners, owned by Robert Bartlett's wife, Joan, and her family.  As Joan noted, "It took nine months to build it and 2 minutes to destroy it."  More importantly, they are grateful that their employees were spared.  The two-story, brick veneer building has been declared a total loss.

As we all continue to sort through the aftermath of the tornadoes, the staff of Bartlett Engineering wants to extend a helping hand to those in need.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do ... if we're not able, we will do our best to find someone who can.  In keeping with our company mission and core values, we truly want to serve and give back to our community.

With a humble dependence on our Lord, we can, together, do our best to turn this tragedy into triumph.
