October Highlights at the Clubhouse

October was a month full of fun! We explored our new facility at Providence Baptist Church, left CMPD's Trunk or Treat with bags overflowing with candy, experienced outdoor wonders at Reedy Creek Nature Preserve, saw creative and outlandish displays at Fort Mill's Scarecrow Crawl, and had a spook-tacular time at NSC's Halloween Party!
