Spencer letter: Rake up Boise

Please add our appreciative comments to Gloria Walsh’s letter about Rake Up Boise. We were also raked and our team from Idaho Power was awesome. Susan, the team leader, even arranged for a team to come back later and rake the leaves that had finally fallen from our huge old elm trees.

These people from Idaho Power know what helping out in your community is all about and that a program like Rake Up Boise is a tremendous help to people who just can’t manage it themselves.

Neighborworks Boise also deserves a huge thank you for arranging all the raking.

Jack and Mary Spencer, Boise
