🎉 What a night! Our annual volunteer picnic at the David Hefner Pavilion in Franklin School Park was an absolute blast.

This end-of-summer celebration is one of our favorite traditions—a chance to show just how much we appreciate our incredible Community Center volunteers. True to form, everyone brought an amazing dish to share, and things definitely got a little crazy on the dance floor!

This group never fails to bring the fun, and we are endlessly grateful for everything they do for our community. Thank you for making tonight—and every day—so special! 💛🌳
