Beautification committee helps clean up
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008
Advertising: Two ads were placed in the local newspaper and signs hung up around town. One stating that we needed volunteers and their yard equipment/tools and the other stating we were assisting those that needed help in their yards and or around their house.
When: 9 am on Saturday, April 19th.
Summary: On Saturday, April 19th we had 8 adults, 1 teenage and 2 children volunteer their time to help others that needed help. We also received a few phone calls for people needing help. Needing help varied from tree branches and leaves picked up at their residence to haul to the city rubble site, a few yards that needed to be raked and a few yards that they needed things hauled away, a tree cut down and weeds and leaves raked. There were a total of 14 people/yards that were helped. The Civic Club was there to donate bars and their time in making the volunteers a lunch of sandwiches, chips, bars and juice. A few of the people that needed help also donated bars.
Volunteers consisted of Steve and Kerrie Knakmuhs, Skylor and Jaymison Knakmuhs, Peggy Schelske, James Sedlacek, Eugene Weidenbach, Grant Winkcler, Roger Treick and Bob Green.
Lunch was served by Barb Elliott, Eldora Baumiller, Lorene Weidenbach and Bea Gemar.
Bars were donated by JoAnn Freidel, Helen Sedlacek, Eldora Baumiller and Buelah Petzoldt.
The weather was prefect for a clean up day.
