Volunteer Work Day Results

It truly takes a village to clean up, do repairs, and make improvements at RHA.  No way would we have come so far in such a short 3+ years without the blood (usually mine, because I'm a klutz), sweat, and tears (again.... usually mine, because I am emotional). As you can see, we have fun too.
Be sure to check back regularly as this page will be updated often.
