Nevada FFA has been moving additional pianos again lately, with the spirit of “make their day!” “The students are getting very efficient in the process of moving these pianos,” said Kevin Cooper, Nevada FFA advisor. Recently, a piano in Story City had to be moved across town, and a FFA tractor project radiator needed to be delivered for repair at Story City Radiator Repair, so one trip was made. Upon delivering the piano to Tom Dooley’s furniture restoration business, the students were provided with a tour and explanation of the rare furniture antiquities that he has restored. Also, another piano origin was from a farm northeast of Randall to West Ames, and got delivered in time for the holiday. “Our students impress me with how they act with maturity and courtesy when entering homes, and acting professionally!” Cooper said. Both piano transfers provided generous financial donations.

Boy Scout Troop 196, worked with Jennifer
Ellis, Friendship Ark executive director, and his troop to convert a previous home’s vegetable garden into a butterfly garden. The garden was designed in memory of a former core member who very much enjoyed butterflies. Christian thanks Jim Mason, of Country Landscapes, for the donation of the design and his expertise to support the project. Christian started his scouting career in first
grade at Sawyer Elementary as part of Pack 275, and five years later earned Cub Scouts’ highest honor of Arrow of Light. Christian began Boy Scouts in sixth grade as part of Ames Troop 196. The Friendship Ark Homes Butterfly Garden expended 159 hours of volunteer time to complete and serving as the project leader was one of the final steps for Christian to earn the highest rank in Boy Scouts, Eagle Scout.
