Thank you to Budget Blinds who sent up about 50 volunteers to Hidden Paradise who helped put up 110 shades, install screen doors, and helped secure furniture pads. They were such great sports helping move furniture to cabins and we are so grateful they've made us their special charity partner. Thank you for another great workday up at Hidden Paradise! |
