I don't know how many volunteers we had, but I know it was a nice turnout when you consider the heat, humidity and physical labor the volunteers knew they were going to endure. It was well planned and with the help of employees of DLC, we were finished in about 3-1/2 hours. H&N's generous offer to help is just another sign that Maricopa's community spirit is still alive and well, and for that reason we'll be able to handle the challenges created by these uncertain economic times. I think if John Wayne were alive today, he might stand in the middle of the street that bears his name and declare "Times are tough, but the pilgrims of this town are tougher". |
