🌟 Team Volunteer Outing 🌟

We had a great morning helping clean up Oakdale Park in preparation for the Smoky Hill River Festival! We also enjoyed visiting the Sound Garden and playing the instruments. Both of these wonderful community assets are supported by funds at the Foundation--the Sound Garden Fund at Oakdale Park honoring Janice Pankratz, and the Smoky Hill River Festival Legacy Fund.
