“𝘐’𝘮 𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵, 𝘚𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵, 𝘐𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳, 𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘣 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 10 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴; 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦 𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘣𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.

⚡️ CLUBHOUSE ART ⚡️

@bootzmama worked on creating this beautiful artwork of @martin_chariots_offiah to be displayed in our clubhouse. We cannot wait to see it up in the clubhouse!

@bootzmama wanted to represent everything that meant community to her. Here is what she had to say:

“𝘐 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘣𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘸 𝘶𝘱 𝘪𝘯 𝘏𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘺….. @𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯_𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘵𝘴_𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘢𝘩 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘣𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦!!!
