Last night DASH unveiled our brand new grill, donated by My Sisters/My Friends, for our first annual back to school BBQ.  Residents, volunteers and DASH friends gathered to eat hot dogs, pineapple kabobs and an abundance of watermelon. It was a great opportunity to welcome in a new school year and build upon the already strong community at DASH.

The BBQ was immediately followed by the Art Show put on by the wonderful Art Ladies, Anne Marie and Beth of the Red Derby and the Arcade, who lead the DASH weekly Art Group. The DASH Art Group is not your average art class, the kids rarely spend time simply coloring, instead they make Picasso inspired paintings, splatter paint and dye scarves. The Art Show is a time to appreciate the amazing work that Art Group does every week. The children acted as docents, able to describe the inspiration of certain pieces as they took volunteers, parents and staff on tours.

We are so thankful to all the volunteers, supporters and especially the kids who made the BBQ and Art Show possible.
