The youth of St. Mary’s, their parents and adult volunteers formed a clean up SWAT team of sorts yesterday afternoon. We had a GREAT turnout and literally swarmed the home of a local elderly woman to trim and remove overgrown bushes, mow the lawn, trim weeds and generally clean up the property.
In about two and a half hours we successfully transformed the property and witnessed Ms. Buchanan enjoying her new view from the front porch. For me, this made it all worthwhile.
Most of the group gathered at the Dairy Barn after the work was done, where we were treated to ice cream by Sue and Sissy. It was a great way to finish up a very rewarding afternoon. Thanks to our awesome youth for showing up and working so hard to make this elderly woman’s life a bit brighter.
