COMMUNITY BUILD RECAP
It was a great day to be outdoors on Saturday, 9/25, when B3 students, advisors, and family members gathered to line trails, spread mulch, weed, repair and paint a fence, and other general clean up of the grounds of Earthplace in Westport.
Over 60 volunteers worked in 2 shifts to clean up and maintain this wonderful community resource.
A BBQ lunch was served between shifts to the hard working volunteers, with an assortment of ice cream for dessert.
Earthplace is very grateful for the help and support of our hardworking volunteers.
Thank you to everyone who came out to work on Saturday - helping B3 Build a Better World in our own community.
