The Bucket Brigade — From <i>The Alton Telegraph</i>
The 18th Annual Bucket Brigade is completed and once again it was co-sponsored by Pride, Inc., Sherwin Williams, and The Telegraph…Our volunteers have come back year after year in an effort to help others…This year we painted 43 houses….Once again we are so grateful to the hundreds of volunteers from throughout the River Bend area, who spread a lot of TLC, along with the paint. It is a time when ‘neighbor helping neighbor’ comes to life as in the days of old when the original Bucket Brigades were formed as a chain to help neighbors save homes…A very special thanks to all of the returning groups, plus the new groups, who stepped forward this year to extend their time and concern for those who had need of a helping hand. Our motto each year remains the same: ‘The really important things we do in life we do for others.’
