I cannot thank everyone enough for all the help that went into putting this day together. All the locations that dedicated their time on a hot Saturday to make sure everyone who stopped by their location felt special, YOU are special in our hearts. You invited our community to your business and offered friendship bracelets, lemonade, smoothies, stepping stone crafts, messages, rock painting, ice cream, coffee and the list goes on! The MIHS SGA and SOS students played games with the kids, the SOS students at Edgewood offered smiles and treats. It was a “feel good” day, that brought a lot of people together. We need more of that. To view all the incredible photos taken by Sandy Roots Photography, click here to visit their website and go to Client Area.

We Yoga’d at the Beach!
Thanks to Bob Beil for a relaxing yoga session to finish our day! We were visited by a beautiful Box Turtle during our session! I’d like to think of it as a sign from Hunter that he was there with us.
You Matter Night at the O-Dome
