GOOD NEIGHBOR Honoring an individual who has made exceptional contributions to their community this past year.

Mike Hofler, Deep Canyon Construction
During a time when contractors were extremely busy, Mike set aside time to help the Cache Valley Realtors® with not one, but two community outreach programs this year. First when building a handicap ramp fora double amputee, retired military veteren, and again with a widowed homeowner in Lewiston whose home was falling into disrepair. Mike jumped at the opportunity to help the Association and our local homeowners. He made personal connections with each homeowner and the agents who voluteered their time to help. Mike donated time, supplies and received nothing in return. Without Mike, his skills and expertise, or his desire to help, these projects would not have been as successful as they were.

Congratulations!
