AMBUCS members from throughout a seven-state region are in Salina this week and while they are here, they are helping the community.

Larry Pankratz told Salina Post that the Salina Breakfast and Noon AMBUCS clubs are sponsoring the Great Plains Region AMBUCS conference, which started Thursday and runs through Saturday in Salina.

One of the group's community service projects while in town was to build a ramp onto the back of Ashby House's shelter at the corner of S. Eighth Street and W. Walnut Street. The ramp can be used by persons in wheelchairs or those who have other mobility issues.

AMBUCS members gathered at the facility Friday morning to help the Salina Breakfast AMBUCS club build the ramp. Pankratz said this ramp is the 572nd ramp the club has built in the Salina area.
