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.
