10th Annual Community Care Day
May 16, 2006


On May 16, we joined forces with Honda of America, Invensys Controls, and The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company for our 10th annual Community Care Day. More than 180 volunteers completed 95 social service projects on a single day. But more importantly, they put smiles on the faces of their neighbors and good feelings in their hearts.

THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS!
