HISTORY
LeRoi Merrill was the building coordinator for volunteer labor. The ward members were responsible for excavating, concrete work, painting, landscaping, and the sprinkler system, and final cleanup.The members raised their share of the of the building fund through pledges, selling crafts, selling stationary, and other such projects. The Elders Quorum built the house at 3367 Aztec Road and sold it with the proceeds going to the building fund. The Neal C. Capels held a $50 per person catered oriental dinner with the proceeds of that going to the building fund. Almost everyone was involved and sufficient funds were raised.
