We take safety seriously and want to do all we can to protect our clients. To that end, we all make sure to recertify our First Aid and CPR training on schedule. We had a fabulous teacher here with us Saturday evening and we all took the time to brush up on our skills. We even had fun doing it.

We were honored to be invited to take part in YSU's Earth Day celebration - Green Penguin Day - this month! Miss Rachel packed up her stuff and spent the day meeting students, staff, and visitors on the YSU campus. We sure appreciate the opportunity to spread the word about GG to the valley!

The Youngstown Flea, a “Market For Makers,” is thrilled to announce #SeasonNine happening right in the heart of downtown Youngstown at 365 E Boardman Street. GG's first time back at the Flea this year is next month, May 11 at their location, as well as May 12, at Fellows Riverside Gardens! We look forward to getting to say "Today We Flea!"
