How does the rest of our story go? You can decide this #GivingTuesday

Our friends over at NOVAC created this video of the grand opening of our new Youth Writing Center on August 26th (826 Day!) The video features some shots of the space, including our writing lab and Haunting Supply Co. storefront. They also facilitated a whimsical tale of a family and a hungry dragon by having guests of the event add a new line to the story.
