This year alone they have donated the use of their utility bucket truck to change exterior park- ing lights at no charge, and they have installed conduit and electrical outlets for an addi- tional cooler needed at Lewis and Clark Elementary School. Additionally, they keep an inventory of parts and supplies on hand to better serve the needs of students.
