Thank you to Brad, Art, Jean, Holly, Dave, Karen, Greg, Aliyah, and Val for mulching the flower gardens. The flowers look beautiful, and the butterflies and bees are so thankful.

I would like to thank my church family for the Target gift card that I received for my college graduation. Thank you for thinking of me and also for all the love and support that you have all shown me throughout my life growing up in the church, in high school, and then college. It is very appreciated and I really am grateful to have all of you in my life.

Again, Thank You So Much!
