The Veterans of VFW Post 12118 and their spouses - members of the Ladies Auxiliary- came out in full force on May 12, 2012 to pay back 8A for use of their facilities by having a grounds clean-up day.
The grounds used extensively by families over the summer needed to have hedges trimmed up so that snakes couldn't lay in wait for little feet and the poison oak that hid beneath could be removed. Lawns were mowed, hedges were trimmed, windows washed, floors swept and edging was done all around.
A spokesperson for 8A said that this clean-up day saved the 8A membership quite a bit of money.
Anthony Alexander and Shirley Burk, Al and Sandi Gilbert, Jay Hennell, Ralph
and Eva Murphy, Ken Osteen, Larry and Micki Phillips, Al Putney, Gary
Taylor, and Danny Thomas all participated in the clean-up.
