Veterans United Volunteers' Work Day

Board member Ryan Bell organized a group of ten Veterans United volunteers for a work day at the newly-constructed Guardian Hills’ site. 
This hardworking crew laid landscaping stones in front of each cabin.  In addition, they moved scrap metal to storage and gathered debris near the Dining Barn. 
 
The time and effort they spent readying Guardian Hills for its upcoming Ribbon Cutting Celebration is truly appreciated!
