Community Service Day Complete
Thank you to everyone who joined us to help on the Habitat for Humanity Huntting Park project! We worked hard to hang sheet rock in several rooms of one of the homes. We learned to score, cut, and nail the sheet rock to the studs to make a room feel more complete. We worked hard despite the weather and had a great time. We look forward to doing this again later in the year.
Thank You!
Thank you to Lisa Sedlar for the amazing interview this morning! Also, thank you to our host, The Springs at Tanasbourne, and everyone who got up early to join us.
