Give Back to the Land day!

The third annual “Give Back to the Land Day” on Friday, April 22, will be a 24-hour online giving day to raise funds for local […]

Rus, wearing a red checked shirt, jeans, and sunglasses, is sitting in the grass at the side of a road. His dog, Percy, is seated in Rus's lap. Rus is looking into the camera and smiling.
