WET PAINT

If you haven't been back to Soldier in a while, you need to visit the Community Building and look at the new paint job. If you recall the mural around the bottom of the building, you might also recall how aged and weather-beaten it had become. The aging, and the fact that it was outdated, called for action.

Your community club responded with action. They applied for and received a grant for paint from Diamond Vogel Paint and Keep Iowa Beautiful. Volunteers painted the foundation as well as the front entry and the sign. Along with cleaning up the garbage cage in front of the building, this all adds up to a wonderful face lift for one of Soldier's favorite landmarks.

More news, as well as pictures of the makeover "Before and After" coming soon! Speaking of pictures, come by for a visit and take your picture in front of a very fresh looking Community Center. Submit the photo to any community club member or email it to ehlerssa@loganet.net and you may see your picture in this space!
