AND THE WINNER IS…
This design was selected in a recent poll by our Facebook Group. It will be the design theme for our 2019 Open House and also for temporary tattoos that will be handed out at Outreach Events. Thanks for voting!
Note: By the way, we learned Facebook polling does not work well on cell phones. Facebook assures us they are working to fix the problem. We apologize for that.
