Member Testimonies
When asked why members are working on this project, their answers were ...
Sarah- "On the fourth day, God created the moon and the stars. Here we are, years later obscuring the breathtaking view of the celestial population."
Anisa- "When my brother and I were younger, we would lay on our trampoline and look up at the sky, looking at the constellations. Now that the water tower's lights shine next to our house, we can't see as many stars as we used to."
