Lace Arvizu, Amelia Meier, and Rachel Stewart happily arrived early to Veteran's Memorial Park to set up a couple of the tables for the Earth Day Celebration. Ms. Meier has been trying to make this a reality since April 22, but various issues kept coming up. May 7 was finally the day.
The first group came right around 11a.m. to drop off the trash they had collected. They were happy to have made a difference. Back from left, Becky Zueger, Vonnie Volkman, Chad Zueger, Jo Brese, and Darian Tombre; front, Presley Volkman, Rylan Volkman, and Natalie Koosey.
