Past Chapter presidents Rich Hane and Rick Bivins joined our current Chapter President Keith Kittinger for an impromptu clean up day at Kentucky Innovation Station (Old L&N Depot in Madisonville, Ky) where we hold our monthly meetings of the West Kentucky Chapter of the NRHS.

The grounds were much in need of mowing, weeding and the bushes were unruly. Rich did a fabulous job of bringing them back to form while Keith maned the weed eater and leaf blower. Ricky mowed and trimmed.

We all three cleaned up the resulting debris. It feels good to give back a little to our gracious host, Kentucky Innovation Station on June 9, 2021.
