Rain, Rain, Go Away...said no flower ever!

Boy, it's been a wet May! But living in New Jersey, we can enjoy how green it's made our beautiful little state—and how happy the bees are!! Fortunately, the weather cooperated for our Flower Power Carnival yesterday, and much fun was had. A huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers, including DJ Charlie and the Shulkowski family, who brought some of their old Volkswagons for everyone to enjoy a little car show.

Extra big thanks to Terrell Whitaker, ECLC's newest staff member, who helped out with setup, clean up, and everything in between!

Families, we hope you had as much fun as we did with the VW Bus photobooth, all the games and prizes, and the popcorn and cotton candy machines (both big hits, but a royal pain to clean, whew!)...We're in the home stretch now—almost one month to the end of the school year. Can you stand it?!
