Great Falls Leadership class refurbishes welcome sign… literally

The 38 members of the 2004-05 Leadership Great Falls class spent the past nine months digging into the inner workings of their community. They also spent the end of last week digging in to make the community a better place, literally.

The class spent two days sprucing up the "Welcome to Great Falls" landscapes on the west and east ends of 10th Avenue South. They painted signs, pulled weeds, planted shrubs, cut sod, mulched and added river rock.

The soon-to-be graduates of the 25-year-old local leadership program say that just like the city’s entrances, they too have a fresh "Welcome to Great Falls" attitude.

"I’ve lived here my whole life, but I learned so much more about this community through this program," said class member Tavi Townsend, the compliance officer at General Distributing. "Great Falls has a great deal to offer: our museums, the parks, our outdoor recreation. There are a lot of reasons to bring people here to spend their money."
