Swarms of volunteers cut and trimmed the brush back and then moved on to paint the fences and decks around the building and playground. They then moved inside and gave the gym a fresh coat of paint. All in all, it was a busy and fun week that resulted in many new friendships and a refurbished Head Start facility just in time for the start of the new school year.

Webster Bank provided t-shirts for all participants while donations from Prudential Resources, Iroquois Gas Transmission, Shady Knoll Health Center and Griffin Hospital helped cover most of the cost of materials. In addition, food kept our volunteers going throughout the week as nightly meals were provided by Rapp's Paradise Inn, Charlie & Leon's, Domino's, Subway and Big Y. We want to thank everyone who participated including employees of the following groups:
