COMMUNITY BUILD RECAP
It was a great day to be outdoors on Saturday, 9/24, when B3 and B3LOCAL students, advisors, and family members gathered for the B3 Community Build;
a collective effort to clean up the grounds of Earthplace in Westport.
Over 50 volunteers worked in 2 shifts to 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 served by the B3 Amigos.

Earthplace is very grateful for the help and support of the hardworking B3 volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who came out to work on Saturday - helping B3 Build a Better World in our local community.
