This little yellow house served us well! 🏡❤️

The AARC moved to a new location since 2018 and this old house will be torn down tomorrow.

All our fond memories moved with us to the new location and are still alive as we grow and make new ones! 😊

Thank you to all the Alumni who made the Jacob House the AARC's first home!

Post a fond memory you have from 429 Garden Road!
