Operation Schoolyard: Wrap-up
Last Saturday, 70 Give Back volunteers weeded, mulched, planted and painted around Covington's James E. Biggs Early Childhood Education Center. This free preschool teaches reading readiness to 326 students, 88 percent of whom are eligible for free lunch programs, and operates a Family Resource Center. Your work helped the school continue its service to the community! Keep an eye on our Web site for pictures.

We've updated our Web site with some user-friendly home page enhancements, such as an events navigation bar (hover with the mouse and watch the RSVP quick-links pop up) and an Events Calendar. Isn't technology great!
