Chapin Women in Service members baked beautiful cookies to serve at the Screaming Eagles Community Day.
We partnered with the Chapin Community Service Club who served up delicious hotdogs, french fries, chili, and assorted soft drinks. 45 special needs children participated . The smiles on their faces told the story. What a wonderful evening. Thank you, Screaming Eagles.

A huge shout-out to Donna for spearheading our recent adopted trailhead cleanup!

She didn't just show up to make our community more beautiful—she even recruited some excellent backup and got her husband to pitch in, too!

Thanks to this dynamic duo, our trail is looking fantastic, refreshed, and ready for everyone to enjoy. We love seeing our members (and their wonderful recruits) putting in the work to keeping our community beautiful.

A huge shoutout to Nancy and Donna who came out today to clear, clean, and refresh our adopted trail!

There is nothing quite like the power of women coming together to take care of our local spaces. Our community trails are officially looking beautiful, safe, and ready for everyone to enjoy.
