Bloom Closet Service Project - January 30, 2020

What an awesome day of service for our 5th Thursday meeting! Quick lunch catered by Tour of Italy, announcements and then a quick presentation on Bloom! We were able to then dedicate the rest of the time to performing a service project to help sort clothing for the new season for Georgia's foster kids! #transform #empower #serviceaboveself #peopleofaction
