2017-03-14 06:20:45 PM mfskal we used the month of march(women's history month) to fill the hallway with women inventors.

I have Volunteers from different churches, elementry/high school students, former residents, 4 different bands and staff that assist preparing for parties. This Friday for St. Patty's Day we will have Shamrock shakes, green beer (non-alcholic) A band, punch but before the party we will spend the day preparing. By fixing all the ladies hair and putting green ribbons in with green beads for the guys. We're going to have chicken wings, meatballs and cheesecake desserts. Parties are always super busy days!
