Photo of the Week: July 8, 2010
We didn’t post last week due to the July 4th holiday so here are two for this week! Our programs have wrapped up, end of the year parties have happened, good-byes have been said; but before everyone left there were smiles & hugs and some more volunteering (re-painting hopscotch on a neighborhood playground!) just for good measure.
