Jazz and Picnic in the Sculpture Garden is this Friday! Join us for great music and a great time. Also, be sure to sign-up for the gleaning service project next Saturday, July 21. We will be gleaning surplus produce and providing it to AFAC. This is a fun and very worthwhile event.
The Chrysalis Vineyard social is August 4, and that date is quickly approaching. Email Dustin at dcyp.social@gmail.com before Monday, July 30, if you plan to attend so we can secure rides for anyone that needs one.
Have a great week!
