it's hard to believe that graduation is just around the corner - it's a special time for our soon-to-be graduates, and we look forward to celebrating their accomplishments and connecting with them on May 14 at the Ocean Center. To mark the occasion, we invite you to purchase a custom-inscribed brick with proceeds benefiting student scholarships.
