The Leavenworth Road Association has a major community project in July.
There is a team with 70 youth and adult leaders coming to town.
There are 13 residential projects on a list for them to help with, including painting eight houses, trimming fence lines, hanging doors, enclosing car ports, hanging blinds, trimming low branches and weeding a couple of gardens.
Two trucks picked up paint and other supplies, and delivered them. One of the trucks belonged to the Kansas City, Kan., Police Department community policing unit, with Officers Tony Lee and Tom Grote. The other truck was Deniese Davis with her grandson, Nick Davis.
All the paint was delivered, appreciate residents were met and the group is ready to go full force.
Some community policing officers will be dressed in civilian clothes to help paint, cut some brush and hammer a few nails.
Lou Braswell is the executive director of the Leavenworth Road Association.
