Having Fun and Helping the Local Community

Ann Arbor, Michigan, June 26th, 2015Members of our team at TSRL, Inc. visited the Foundations Preschool of Washtenaw County (http://www.foundations-preschool.org/) last Friday for our annual Day of Caring. The weather couldn't have been better as we were put to work scrubbing floors, ripping out weeds, and staining decks. One of our team members even got a bee sting. They are okay--with the help of an onion to reduce the swelling--and the hard work was worth it for everybody. We were able to make our community preschool a cleaner, happier place for the at-risk children who need a place to learn and grow.

Looking forward to next time!
