First of all, a big THANK YOU to all the people who helped make this year’s Independence Day celebration a wonderful and fun event! Special thanks to the burger grilling team and everyone who did the planning, set-up, clean-up, brought a potluck dish, or played music and sang. Amazing team work – again, thanks to all!
