Class of 2014 working their project.  

Construction got under way for the Pet Sanctuary at Monika's House. The teamed learned a lot as they began the process. The day was complete with a dog helping them make sure they were doing the job right and watching baby birds take what may have been their first flight. Only 3 additional trips to Home Depot were needed! Construction continues this Saturday. If you are interested in lending a hand with a bunch of really fun folks - email Michelle.

Applications are arriving daily! I strongly encourage you to get yours in if you are interested in this great program.

Visit our website for the brochure, application and information. I would love to answer any questions you may have so pop me an email or give me a call.

Finish your week strongly and productively.
