Project SKIP
Project SKIP held its "Build Day" on Saturday, May 22, at Jerry Burrell Park in Schenectady. Over 100 volunteers came together to build the playground, plant flowers and trees, paint a mural, paint lines on the basketball court, serve food, and cheer everyone on! The day was a huge success, with the 'build' finishing up more than 3 hours ahead of schedule!! Thanks to Union College students and faculty, Air National Guard members, representatives of local congregations, City of Schenectady employees, and many community members who gave of their time and talents to make this dream a reality!
