Twin Lakes visited with several high schools in the surrounding counties to present the graduating seniors with a $2,500.00 check to be used for Project Graduation. Project Graduation is an overnight event the seniors participate in as their class gathers for one last time. Numerous items are given to the students during Project Graduation as a gift for their accomplishments and hard work over the past four years. This occasion has been taking place for several years to give the students an award and a safe place to gather and say their good-byes. Twin Lakes is proud to sponsor this event and would like to congratulate the Class of 2020 and wish them the best on their next chapter in life.
