You know how much we love giving tours at GiGi's Playhouse. Well, the tour we gave this group from IMT Insurance was extra special. Why? Because Sydney Ruggless, Shahriar Ratel, Eric Howell, Brain Neitzel and Morgan Soe were here to be part of the IMT Insurance Give Back & Gather Day.

Last Wednesday, teams of IMT Insurance Insurance employees were dispatched to nonprofits across the metro to plant, paint, sort, or whatever was on the "to-do list" of these great organizations. For us, we had these eager do-gooders help us with some needed tidying up and organization of our Playhouse. What a great job they did!

We just hope they all come back on a day of programming to meet some of our wonderful
participants in action…

Boy, did we miss this group! After a three-week break, we were so happy to welcome back our group of Tuesday regulars yesterday, along with a few special guests...

Sharon Mitchell brought a group from her local chapter of Beta Sigma Phi for a tour (that’s them in the background of the GiGi’s Kitchen), and our good friend Carrie Pothitakis brought a beautiful collection of flowers and small vases to allow everyone to create and take home their own flower arrangement.

What a way to start Fall at GiGi’s -- it’s going to be a great one!
