We held our groundbreaking ceremony yesterday for the Transitional Living Apartments. The weather held out, the turn out was impressive and the kids had a great time breaking ground for the new project. Speakers included Mayor John Engen, Deb Frandsen (Senator Testers Office), Joe Bischof (MHM Board President) and Gypsy Ray (MHM Executive Director) and letter of support was read from Senator Baucus’s Office. Then the architects (Oz Architects) and construction company (Quality Construction) were introduced. Finally three kiddos served by our organization carried out the ceremonial dig.
