WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES!

WOW!!


A lot of good people where on hand for this project and their help is greatly appreciated

Over 150 people showed up for the event and covered a lot of ground in a short time. In the background, as many as sixty people worked on the Grange and spruced it up. They painted fences, mowed weeds, cleaned up debris, and painted and scrubbed the interior of the building. Afterwards, the entire group was treated to a well deserved lunch. A big thanks goes to the youth of the community LDS church!


The LDS Youth and the KBPRC get to tearing out some fence along Second Street


When one tractor won't do it, better get a bigger tractor!

The local church community from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints came out in force and really showed their stuff! On Saturday over 150 kids and young adults between the ages of 12 and 18, along with parents, came to the park and hit several projects very hard.
Many brought tools and different items needed to make improvements to the Grange and Park, along with heavy equipment donated by the Rental Connection in Kuna.
It didn't take long for progress to show, and what a difference their efforts made in a very short time. Members of the KBPRC, along with the Lion's Club, and Kuna Grange who were in attendance, were very impressed with the amount of work that was completed in very short order. It is amazing what can be accomplished by this many people with the same goal in mind.

We would like to thank all of the members of the LDS church and everyone from the different groups that attended including the Kuna Lion's Club and the Kuna Grange for their help. A very special thank you goes to Tracy Trautman for organizing and coordinating the entire event. Thank you Tracy, your efforts are an inspiration to all of us!
We would like to list all of the kids and adults from the church who participated as well but we do not have all of their names. I promise you we will post them as soon as we do. (Gonna be a looong list).
