Volunteers Improve Pranker's Pond
Last June, approximately 75 people worked together to improve Pranker's Pond in memory of local volunteer Sean LeBlanc. By the end of the day, trees and a new garden were planted, benches were refinished, a kiosk was built, and debris was removed from the area. Family and friends enjoyed improving this local park while celebrating the life of a young man who made such a positive impact through his own community service and volunteer work.
