Marshfield ODC's Garden Celebration

Join us at our ODC Marshfield location to celebrate ODC's new Memorial Garden. This garden was made possible by Forward Bank in memory of long-time bank employee and board member Orin Toltzman, who had a passion for ODC's mission.

Take a tour of the garden and enjoy some light refreshments:
Tuesday, July 14th
10:30am to 12:00pm

EVERYONE is welcome to attend and take in the beauty of this space.

We would also like to thank: Fischer Landscape and Design, Doine Excavating, Nikolai Construction and Dean Pitt for their generous support and work on this project.

Thanks to everyone's commitment, we can continue Orin's desire for a beautiful space and a stronger community. Hope to see you there!
