Volunteer Day -- July 19, 2007

The entire ExOfficio team took the day to take care of our environment. We traveled to Discovery Park in Seattle to weed out invasive species from the garden and do beach clean up. We also enjoyed ourselves, were visited by some native animals, and did some field testing of the ExOfficio appeal we design, market, and sell.
