Recently,
the
Community
Outreach
subcommittee spearheaded a project to bring
joy to people who might need a little help. They
handed out river rocks to Association members
for them to take home and decorate with paint,
glitter, sequins, etc. Those rocks will be taken to
cancer treatment centers in the area, and either
handed out to patients or hidden throughout
the property for them to find. Thank you to
everyone who worked so hard on creating such
beautiful works for people to find!
