Hi,
My 16 year old step-daughter loves butterflies. This summer we are looking for a place for Taylor to give back to the community and we thought that maybe we could volunteer and help. Please let us know if and how we can help with the butterflies.
Thanks, Megan
Hi Megan,
Yes you can help. That would be wonderful. We will get in touch with you
Thank you,
Beverly
