We had a nice turnout at our annual Volunteer Day and GNPVA Annual Meeting. Below are some pics from our annual volunteer day which we have not been able to have since 2019 because of covid. So grateful to all the volunteers that showed up to help GNP with several projects. It was a warm and sunny day and we all worked hard and had fun too, spending time with new and old friends. Thank you
