Did you see?? Firefly Children & Family Alliance is doing a Spring Clothing Swap at the Club this Saturday!!

Spring cleaning season is here — and they're turning it into a community swap! 👕👟🌱

How it works:

✔️ Bring clothing, sports equipment, or seeds/gardening items you no longer use (in good condition)
✔️ Browse tables and take home what you need — for free!

👚 Kids & adult items welcome
🎒 Aim for at least 5 items if you can — but come even if you have nothing to offer
🚫 No resellers, please

This event is a great way to support sustainability, share with neighbors, and refresh your spring wardrobe — all right here at our Club. 💙
