THANK YOU LEBANON TEACHERS AND FRED'S BRICK HOUSE CAFE!!! On Thursday, February 26, we held our first ever Bailey's Garden Pizza Party at Fred's. Lebanon school teachers and administrators volunteered to wait tables and donated all their tips to Bailey's Garden. Boy, did they work hard! Thanks to the generosity of Lebanon's families, we absolutely packed the place (there was a line out the door) and raised nearly $1900 toward phase three!! Thank you, Lebanon!!

On October 18th, nearly 40 volunteers gave their time, energy and love to help build the second phase of Bailey's Garden. We can't thank them enough for helping the build go so smoothly! We also want to thank Dan Lally of Butler Construction nad Builder's Concrete for donating het excavation and concrete for both phases of Bailey's Garden, as well as Ron Drum for donating his time and effort to get het wood chips in so quickly! Thanks to all of them, we were able to have our ribbon cutting and officially open Phase Two on Friday, October 24-the kids have enjoyed it every day since!!

-We received the first half of our grant from the Saving Institute, which enabled us to order our materials for phase 2, and still have some funds toward phase three!

-The Bailey's Garden Family Fun Day was held on Aaturday, September 27, and was our official "Kick-off" fund raiser for Phase Three. The event was the brainchild of Bailey's brother, Cooper, and was a fun, fantastic way to start us on our way to our final phase!
