We can\u2019t say enough about her positive spirit and her kind heart.<br \/>\nShe goes above and beyond and she also leads our Kids Club and offers to help constantly! &#8220;I love helping at GiGi&#8217;s.

He has helped GiGi&#8217;s by cleaning the playhouse and organizing craft supplies. He has helped prepare Literacy materials and has moved furniture around for the tutoring rooms. He also helps when Jeri does Kids club program by coming early with her and getting things ready.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Clark also participates in GiGiFit and Fantastic Friends!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&#8220;GiGi&#8217;s is the place to be.
