This time of year the butterflies were hiding but squirrels were out, and Santa Claus came by and stayed for the whole time! Santa’s helper, Ms. Anne from the Arnett Branch Library was there with a sled full of gently used...

Lydia’s Closet Day

Back to School Outreach Last Saturday, September 23 the Lydia’s Closet ministry joined us at 350 Arnett Boulevard for an afternoon of fun and fellowship.

School supplies were available for neighborhood students. Many thanks from us and our neighborhood to Jennifer Wolford, our nurse manager and all the volunteers from Lydia’s Closet! This could be the beginning of a new...
