BBQ Photos!

Thanks again to everyone who joined us last Thursday for a lovely evening in the garden for our Back to School BBQ. While the rain threatened to dampen the party, the skies cleared just in time, and we ended up with a beautiful night! A big thank you also goes out to Jinx’s BBQ for supplying us with such deliciousness. Here are some photos of the evening – we’ll be sure to keep you posted about any upcoming events and community workdays!
