We get by with a little help from our friends.... A small but mighty team from BarkleyOKRP came out to volunteer as part of their Add Good volunteer day. They scrubbed walls to get us sparkling for Drag Queen Bingo (tonight!) and made welcome signs for our summer campers (Monday!). Thank you, Barkley for adding good to the Y and bringing a little joy to the Lake View Y. <3 #volunteersrock #dogood #volunteers #CSR #powerofplay
