Vivienne had hoped to join in an evening meal with Troy and Aaron, but she wasn’t able to make it. Aaron says, “She sent a potato cake she had made, a traditional family favorite, and it was great—as were all the dishes that Hank and Mary prepared.”
Te Keevens presented Troy, Aaron, John and Donna with a gun carrying case to take home, with their name engraved on it. Aaron says, “It was special for them to do that for all of us. We bid on a duck hunt and they did a tremendous job of that but with so much extra added— great food; great friendship.”
Te Lawn Institute (TLI), TPI’s Foundation, is built on the three pillars of science, education and the environment. TLI funds scholarships and turfgrass-related
research and works to increase the understanding and appreciation of the benefits of turfgrass. So, why did the Keeven brothers and Kerfoots donate these great packages to TLI? Why did the Coombs and Kuenzis and Keeven brothers bid on them?
Te answer was echoed by all. TLI does so much for turfgrass producers by investing in the future of the industry this was a great way to support that outreach. “What could be better than to give back to something you believe in—and enjoy doing it with great people?”
