Volunteers spruce up Tecumseh VFD building, grounds

Tecumseh-area residents turned out recently to work on some maintenance projects at the Tecumseh Volunteer Fire Department’s community building  and parking lot. The community building got a fresh coat of exterior pain, and the surface grading around the building was redone to help with runoff water control (after water got into the building after the heavy May 31 rainstorm). The parking lot, including the nearby post office area, was re-graded, and new gravel was added. A Thrivent Action Team provided the materials and lunch for the workers, who included, front row, from left: Violet Winrod, Caroline Israel, Charlotte Taylor, Christina Taylor, Dan Taylor. Back row: Jonathan Winrod, Dan Israel, Daniel Winrod, Lynn Taylor, Nathanael Winrod and John Garrabrant. Also helping but not pictured: Joe Easterday and Greg Dillon
