Our 8th Annual Crape Myrtle
& Shade Tree Sale
was a huge success!
Many thanks to all who participated by purchasing the more than 1,000 trees which will be planted locally to help beautify our area. And a special thanks to the 160 volunteers who came out to work in the rain to assist us and make the pick-up day run as smooth as could be!
