Sward School Brownies Beautify Oak Lawn Gazebo
Brownie Troop 60627 spruce up the gazebo on Village Green as part of community service project.
The Brownies of Troop 60627 spruced up the Oak Lawn Gazebo on April 14.
Noticing that the gazebo was looking cluttered, they decided to do something about it. Without any promoting by their leaders, the Brownies cleaned up the gazebo and Village Green, filling up several bags with litter and other debris.
