As we prepare for Thanksgiving, it is a time to be grateful, especially to our practice groups and the generous donations they made! During the month of October, each practice group competed against each other to collect food for local food pantries! Congratulations to the Chesterfield Y Practice Group on obtaining the most items! During the SCM meet November 15, all the practice groups who participated received a plaque for participating!
Happy Thanksgiving!
