Leroy McAbee Activity Center

A huge thank you to Arts n’ Autism for the thoughtful gift basket they left for our staff! We were honored to host Splash Camp last week and loved having such an amazing group with us.

I’d also like to extend a special thank you to our McAbee members. To accommodate Splash Camp, we closed the pool during the day, and our regular members graciously gave up some of their swim time so these children could enjoy a fun and memorable experience. Your patience, understanding, and support helped make the week a success.

We are grateful to be part of a community that comes together to create opportunities and lasting memories for others. Thank you all for making Splash Camp so special!
