The team coordinated a $2,000 grant to the organization to help pay for bark in the playground. The leadership shoveled and loaded the bark and then pulled weeds to help clean up the popular play place for children. The leadership team also spent time learning about CAPSA and its impact in the Logan community. It was included as a special event in their quarterly strategic meeting. WELLS FARGO TEAM MEMBERS FROM NEVADA AND UTAH REGIONS VOLUNTEER TOGETHER IN HONOR OF THE NATIONAL PARKS CENTENNIAL More than four dozen Wells Fargo Nevada and Utah team members, family and friends met on an early Saturday morn- ing at Zion National Park in Southern Utah to help remove an invasive weed from the area. “It was exciting having team members, family and friends from Nevada and Utah come together for one large environmental service project,” said Southern Nevada Volunteer Chapter Pres- ident Megan Farnsworth. “The event was a wonderful opportu- nity for the two regions to work as one.” Volunteers pulled mullein weed, which has been quickly over- taking many of the banks of the Virgin River and crowding out native plants. They hiked along the riverbank to access the most critical work areas. Team members drove from as far away as Salt Lake City and Pahrump, Nev. for the volunteer activity. Because of the overwhelming success of the event, which included free campsites for most volunteers, another work project is already in the planning. Wells Fargo teammembers Veronica Ottley, Pamela Nicholaus, Kelly Goodman, Jennifer Ford, Melissa Sullivan and I also helped organize the project. The pilot event was created as a salute to the National Park Service Centennial celebration taking place this year. WELLS FARGO PRICE TEAM MEMBERS SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THEIR COMMUNITY By Chauncey Jensen, Utah South Community Banking We live in Price, a very small community in the middle of Utah, where everyone seems to know everyone. Many of us have had police officers in our families, including myself. We know the struggles of the negativity that comes from the public towards the officers in this small town or in any town for that matter. Lately we have seen more and more negativity in the news towards police officers. I knew that as a team we could do something to honor our officers. I saw a picture on social media that was a “survival kit” for officers and thought it was an amazing idea and something we could put together as a team. I called around to all of the police departments in our two small counties and asked for a head count of all of their active officers. We  Bank Kudos — continued from page 23
