Summer Fun Day is coming on July 29th. We are doing it earlier this year to hopefully avoid weather issues and place this event in the middle of the summer.

This year we are planning:

• Bouncy castle
• Face painting
• Bike parade
• Senior’s tent
• BBQ
• Ice Cream truck
• Fire Department
• Games
• Movie Night!

Looking forward to seeing you there! We will also have a table set up so you can meet this year’s Executive and discuss future plans for our community.

a Company of Fools will be performing in Glabar Park on July 14th!

See their Twitter post here.

Bad news!  The volunteer that was going to look after the community garage sale is no longer available, so we won’t be able to have that central location where community members can drop off their items unless we find another volunteer.

If you know of anyone that would be able to volunteer on Saturday, please email us.  Otherwise, there will be no drop off.

Even if there is no centralized community sale at the Kingsmere park field house, everyone is still encouraged to hold garage sales at their homes this weekend.
