06/12/2007: "Legion Team Work For A New Patio"

When you have the best view in town, you may as well take full advantage of it, and on Saturday, June 9, a work party showed up at American Legion Post 163 to help prepare the ground and form up for the pouring of cement for a new patio that will allow fuller use and enjoyment of the land in front of the Legion building.

The drippy, cool weather did nothing to dampen the cooperation as Legion members went to work.
Ed Rouleau brought his back hoe to get the party started. Then Glen Hargrove, John Goulter, Curt VanHyning, Larry Larson, Roger Loring, Randy Lindsey, Roger Falls, Norm Hanson, Dave Ross, Jeff Gull, David McCrillas, Jim Knych, Steve Cotton and Bubba Walters of Raw Construction began the hard work of clearing, grading, and setting the forms. Scott Clark, Mark McCutcheon, and Jeff Peacock brought a dump truck to haul away the broken cement and debris.

In the mean time, Sam Cotton, Carlys Allen, Jenny Moore, Tori Patterson, Nancy Vejvoda, Donna Greenway and Minnie Knych kept the coffee brewed and prepared a hot lunch for the work party. In between the breakfast and lunch, we organized one of the storage closets and cleaned the grill in the kitchen.

At the end of the day, Lou Dickenson came by to assess the electrical needs on the patio and Evelyn Lee checked in after work to make sure all was ready for the cement pour on June 23.
