Moyer said the results early

difficulties associated with the
new endeavor that were unex-

iar to people in the area, the
needed support will be forth-
coming.
She also singled out an
important recent donation to
the effort.

tion from Wal-Mart. They
donated rakes and garbage cans
and a couple of gallons of paint
and some cleaning supplies and
that really helped,” she said.
