GEMS Family Crew News

Thank you to the Jones, Sineath, Overmyer, & Stevens Families who came out to clean on a chilly Sunday afternoon! We were also joined by volunteers from Huntington National Bank.

Lots of hands made for fast work!

We picked up trash & other debris from the playgrounds, front lawn, and parking lots. Additionally we moved the stones that had fallen into the back driveway out of the way of vehicles.

Thanks to the families who were able to join us for the meet-up this past Wednesday. The kids had fun playing and it was lovely to get the chance to chat!

We hope you can join us again.
