In the spirit of the recent Summer Olympics, The Brave athletes will arrive at the Abiding Grace Village at 2:00 p.m. With a relaxed atmosphere, we will serve our guests and their families as they celebrate the many accomplishments of the past year. You can still sign up to volunteer. If you have any questions please contact Kim Haggerty.
