And you know what that means - grass cutting time!

Before our lawn crew can cut the grass on our campus, all the debris that has collected during the winter needs to be picked up. Can you spare an hour to help? Mark your calendar for Saturday, March 23 from 8:30 to noon. Light refreshments will be provided. We have some garden tools, but you are invited to bring your favorite gloves or rake to be sure everyone is outfitted. This project is not just for adults! Our youth are strongly encourage to attend. We could really use your muscle!
