Nancy Holtz, Community Involvement Associate for Walmart, gave a few words about Arbor Day and CMN staff and students planted the trees.

"Some people may ask 'Why are we getting a tree, we've got a million trees here,' but it's one more tree," said Gary Besaw, "We're all related. We always need to remember to be humble and good and gracious when a gift is offered." 
Thank you for the trees!
