We had our first official M.E.S.S. Lab birthday request!! Thank you and happy day to Jelagat and her friends for thinking to celebrate here with us! They recycled 22 gallons of party colors, made some noise, and even used the bday bounce house (ie trampoline)!!! Spending time with friends while service learning and supporting a lil’ nonprofit is pretty darn cool, and we are grateful for community members who want to party that way!! No doubt their colors will bring the festivities to whatever room they end up in so come get it while available! And wish Jelagat a happy birthday!! 🥳🎉🎊♻️

Happy “What Is It?!” Wednesday: please meet our amazing new team member, Beth, giving this one her ‘bethst’ guess. 🤣🤣🤣 Part of our job is to look items up for fair pricing and it’s tough when you don’t know what to call the thing you’re looking up! So this is a little dive into the life of a TGP crew member as well…what are these, anyway?!?!
