👏🏻 A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS! 👏🏻

A special shoutout to the VOLUNTEERS who showed up this morning and jumped right in to help:

👏🏻 Phillip Capshaw
👏🏻 Chris Peters
👏🏻 Benito Castellon
👏🏻 James Hall
👏🏻 Allison Meredith
👏🏻 Patriot Power-wash

These guys took time out of their morning to help us get the train and the rest of the graffiti cleaned up, and we truly cannot thank them enough.

THIS IS WHAT COMMUNITY IS ABOUT — COMING TOGETHER, GIVING BACK, AND TAKING PRIDE IN WHERE WE LIVE! ❤️

We also have one request for our new District Attorney: If the person or people responsible are caught, we would love to see community service with Ardmore Main Street Authority be part of their consequences. There were 7 other downtown properties hit by graffiti, and we would be more than happy to put that community service to good use helping clean up the damage.

Let’s turn something negative into an opportunity for accountability and giving back to the community.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to everyone who showed up and helped this morning! 👏🏻
