Letter to the editor

On April 23, 2021, I wrote a letter to the editor regarding the Town Benches. Since then I received phone calls from two ladies who are willing to help me paint benches. I also received a phone call from a lady who wishes to pay for the cost of the supplies going forward. She fondly remembers sitting on Main St. benches with her grandparents. She no longer lives in Carter Co., but wants to help with efforts in keeping benches on Main St of Ekalaka. I also received numerous words of thanks for the work done the past ten years to make our community welcoming and attractive. Appreciate your kind words. So, the white benches arrived on Main St. on Sunday to join the cedar benches which were put out in early May.
