☀️ Big Boi Day is in Full Swing! ☀️

The sun is out, the grill is smoking, and the vibes are unmatched! If you aren't at the center yet, you’re missing out on a serious community celebration.

Here’s what’s happening right now:

For the Kids: We’ve got the massive inflatable obstacle course ready for action! 🏰 🏃‍♂️

The Food: The grills are hot, the catering team is serving up the good stuff, and Sweet Johnnie is on-site with the food trailer! 🍗 🔥

Community: Come say hello and enjoy a beautiful day with neighbors and friends. 🤝

We’ll be here all afternoon, so grab your lawn chairs, bring the family, and come hungry!

See you there! ✌️🎉

When community steps up for community. 💙😭

We are absolutely blown away! Our Spring Cleaning Day just got a massive boost, and our hearts are so full.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Marion State Bank and Mr. Scott Jones for their incredibly generous donation of $2,500.00.

The support doesn't stop there! We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to Breonna Starr and Starr's Painting & More LLC. When they heard about our community center cleanup, they didn’t just offer to lend a hand—they offered to donate the labor to paint the entire community center! This is more than just a fresh coat of paint; it’s a show of incredible generosity that will revitalize the heart of our neighborhood.

This kind of selfless support is exactly what makes our community so special. We are truly Marion Strong because of leaders like you. Please join us in thanking them!

🌳 BIG NEWS! 🌳

The clean-up is officially underway! 🚜💨

A massive shout-out and a heartfelt thank you to Andrews Timber for their incredible hard work and expertise in clearing out the trees and accumulated rubbish in front of the building. The Center is already looking so much better and more welcoming for our community.

We’re making progress every day to get the grounds and the building back in tip-top shape. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to spruce things up!
