With the
generosity of Larchmont Nurseries and the efforts of Jeff
Gibson and his crew we now have an incredible shade garden
among the White Pines.

Fund Raising Drive
Our drive to raise the additional
funds to achieve our ultimate goal of full restoration
and beautification of Kemper Memorial Park is currently
underway. We estimate that it will cost approximately
$100,000 to accomplish everything we hope to do. While
it would be wonderful to receive the entire amount from
one magnanimous donor, we would actually prefer numerous
donations in much smaller amounts. So, we are attempting
to raise $100,000 through five thousand donations of $20
each. More donations will mean that more people care.
That is what we hope to see, and that is ultimately what
will best ensure Kemper Memorial Park’s longevity.
Please consider joining us in our effort to help make
Kemper Memorial Park everything it deserves to be.

Spotlight on North Platte Canteen:
When the "Greatest Generation" passed through North Platte,
Nebraska during WWII, they got a hug and a handshake, homemade
cakes and cookies, and a moment of respite and prayer provided
by thousands of volunteers from the surrounding communities.
