Kahler Post 844, Veterans of Foreign Wars, on Tuesday. The post supplied the plants and mulch, and a dozen club members – accompanied by horticulture instructor Carl J. Bower Jr. – did the rest. "Once again, I’m proud of our students for taking the time to share their talents," Bower said. "The VFW building needed a facelift and this did it. Hopefully, this can instill in students the importance of what we do and how it can make such a difference in the community." The post is at 1260 W. Third St., near the western end of the college's main campus.
