Our April 15th meeting was a full house! HHS student Darius Workman from Troop 489 joined us as well to share his Eagle Scout Service Project, focused on transforming Village Green Park here in Hillsborough.🌳 His plan includes rebuilding the park’s sign, enhancing the space with new landscaping, and constructing benches to make it more enjoyable, welcoming, and easier to find. We thank Darius for his hard work to make our home a better place! 👏
It was a pleasure to also have Charlie Iuliano and Paul Nelson from the Rotary Club of Morristown at our April 15th meeting. Charlie (pictured below) presented their inspiring Pathway to Peace project, which aims to raise awareness around the mental health challenges faced by veterans, first responders, and their families. In partnership with Veterans Valor, their platform brings more light to the purpose of The Healing Garden of Morris County through education, storytelling, and community support. A truly meaningful and powerful initiative. 🇺🇸
