Our paint and pizza party to paint our UUFCM banner to hang in downtown Mt. Pleasant was a great success! We painted, ate pizza, painted some more, and finished our masterpiece in record time! Great thanks to Darlene Ritchie for designing our banner and organizing our work and to the children who painted, Felix, Isla, Mairi, Rose and Savannah, and their parents who pitched in too!
