🎉 Our first Lodge Day is a BIRTHDAY celebration! 🎂🦦

In honor of our newly named otter mascot’s “birthday,” our River Otters are celebrating through service! 💙 We’re collecting items to create Birthday Kits for Goochland Cares and help local families celebrate their special days.

🎁 Donations collected September 8–17
⭐ Each donated item = +5 Lodge Points!
🏆 The Lodge with the most donations earns a special treat!

Check out the flyer for your student’s grade-level donation item. Let’s show our community that EVERYONE deserves to be celebrated! 🎈🦦💙
