The Mundy Project Collection
It was a good day, taught my daughter about helping the community and drove around Mundelein collecting donations from MGWP players to support The Mundy Project. A student lead group that wants to go give back to the community. Check out link below. I could not be more proud of the amount of donations I picked up. So proud of our program and our young ladies. Great seeing some of you, from a distance of course.
