It’s a bittersweet day at BABE 🥹
It’s Hilary DuRan’s last day with us at the store. She will still be helping us out with coupon tracking, but just won’t be behind the counter anymore. She’s due with her 3rd little boy in about two months. We are so excited for but will miss her so much! She will still be coming in for classes and playtime though! If you stop in today, wish her well…and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🥳🥳

Last week, Laura was able to attend a two day conference hosted by Moxie Leadership & Consulting led by IU Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. It was a great time to learn new strategic ways to fundraise and have a chance to talk to peers.
A special thanks goes out to Community Foundation of Whitley County for graciously covering the cost of this class!

Such a fun night of making applesauce! Parents and kiddos had fun smashing the cooked apples and making their own applesauce! 🍎🍏 Thank you again to School House Orchard for the donation of apples. After the applesauce was made, we had a fun craft too!
