THE MEMORY MOBILE IS HERE!!!!!

It is hard to put into words how amazing this feels. From nothing but a random idea about one year ago, to having it in person, with so many incredible blessings along the way- everything came together and IT IS HERE!

Make sure to come by our Family Beach Day at the Paddy's Creek swimming area at Lake James State Park in Nebo tomorrow! The memory mobile will be front and center 😊

Stay tuned for updates as to how this van is going to do SO MUCH for our county.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this possible. It's going to be amazing!!!!!!!
