8th Ward Day of Service
Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints asked members around the world to perform a “Day of Service” to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Welfare Program. We did our part in our little neighborhood. The troops rallied early Sat morning for a continental breakfast and briefing. We estimated about 75 wonderful people (that's over 300 man hours!) from the very young to the very mature participated. We moved sand bags, washed windows of at least a dozen homes, pulled out stumps, removed trees, did lots of yard work, sent the youngsters on a service scavenger hunt...and truly enjoyed working with each other on a beautiful summer morning. We shared a lunch together at the end of the project. Happy Birthday Welfare Program! Thank you wonderful neighbors. We love you.
