Editor, Manteca Bulletin,

I would like to thank the following businesses for their donations toward my Eagle Scout service project:  The City of Lathrop, Heritage Paper, River Islands, Save Mart, and Sherwin Williams. Also, thank you to Daloy & Denece Bowden, Milt Daley, Leslie Powell, and Chuck Roberts for their time, knowledge, and assistance.

My project consisted of painting fire hydrants in the Lathrop Village subdivision. I also organized groups to clean the areas around each hydrant, including weeding.

I appreciate the help of members in the community, members and leaders of Troop 439 and their families, and my friends and family. This project could not have been completed without their support.
