This support will help us expand our community garden group and continue
creating opportunities for fresh food access, education and connection in our community — starting with this container gardening workshop in partnership with Alabama Extension last week!

It’s a BIG weekend for Lakeshore athletics this weekend with teams competing throughout the southeast. Rachel and Curt from our wheelchair tennis team traveled to Mississippi to compete in the Mississippi Rock & Roll Wheelchair Tennis Tournament. Curt finished 1st in D Singles, while Rachel took 2nd in the same division. The two also took 1st in D Doubles.

Meanwhile, the Lakeshore Typhoons headed to Augusta for the Fred Lamback Memorial Para Swimming Open, where they recorded 8 new best times, 14 Move United A times, and 11 Para Nationals times.

Our youth wheelchair basketball teams are in Clemson this weekend for the Clemson Classic. The Lakeshore Sharks finished Day 1 with 2 wins and 1 loss, while both our Lakeshore Lakers varsity teams (gray and navy) finished 1-1 for the day.

Congrats on a great day, and good luck to all our athletes competing tomorrow!
