Help with house appreciated

A big thank-you to the Rotarians and friends of Rotarians for painting my house and making it beautiful again. It’s a joy to drive home and just look at it. Words can’t express how much I appreciate this. Also, they mowed my front and back yards. They also bought the paint. Thank you all. A special thank-you to Jan Krehel and Ellen Sheehan. Also, Leonor Araoz Fraser, Allen Auxier, Mike Crawford, Brent Hibbert, Bob and Mary Lambe, Merrill Sikorski, Jodi Stewart, Terri Vanneberg, Kenai River Rotary President Diane Taylor, and Rotary exchange student from Chile Mauro Lotito.
