Water Campaign update. We did it!!!

See what our supporters are saying!

“Some of my earliest recollection of life were in Branson… The Branson School was where life was central for all of my life through high school graduation as I had older brothers and sisters in the school before me. All the adults were more aunts and uncles than friends. All our friends were more cousins than just friends. I have wonderful memories of Branson and enjoy coming back to see family and friends when I am there to stay with my Mom, Joan (Horner) Doherty.” - Kathleen Brooks

“So many special memories and the best Grandma, Aunt & Uncle (Margaret Lewis & Lori and Craig Green) live there.” - Kerry Froese

“We drove up to the picnic grounds beneath Saddle Rock. It was so pretty there and the view was beyond amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better day!” - Jane Jacobson

“Branson water was always good for the teeth, not so good for the hairline!” - Jerry Nickell

“Congratulations to the new Branson Town Council and thank you for all of your hard work on the Town of Branson water system project.” - The McMillans (Toyleen, Mona, Kay, Mike, Mary, Gisele, Lanelle)

“My family left Branson when I was 16, in 1942, but it has always been my hometown.” - Oleta (Hamilton) Goodrich

“One time when I was down in that area, we decided to go to the sale barn in Clayton, and stopped for a bottle of root beer in Branson. Got into some conversation with somebody about bulls. A fun stop that was the best part of our day.” - John Anderson

“It does not sit right with me that a tiny town has to raise such an enormous sum of money for public infrastructure for a basic life necessity! Nevertheless, your ambitiousness is praiseworthy - you can do this!”

“I am donating in honor of my granddad. He was a lifelong cattle rancher and I know he’d understand and support a small town trying to hold onto their way of life.” - Ruth Orr

“When I first came to Branson I met the man who would become my husband….best decision I ever made and Branson is still home to me!” - Darla Nickell

“I had the extreme pleasure of knowing Willard when we were in the Peace Corps together in Iran (1962-64) and then traveling with him for one year through Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, immediately after the Peace Corps. An amazing person….” - Dee Fink

“Keep up the good fight, Branson!”
