The last ramp of this season was our 240th during our 12 year project. The dedication of our members is quite remarkable, as we have to use our
own tools, gas and vehicles. Those listed above are our present crew, but many more have been active, and are no longer able.
We have used about $58,000 worth of materials, with only half of the ramps still in use, while the others have been recycled. This would figure to be
one ramp about 1.25 miles long. We volunteered about 8,200 man hours, which comes to about 205 man weeks.
All this was to insure that at least 240 handy-capped persons could have access to ground level. We often exclaim to each other about how blessed we
feel to be able to serve others in this way.
