Weekend Update
Dear Resident,
National Night Out was a great success. I want to thank the team that worked to bring our residents, police officers, first aid, fire, and local businesses together in support of our strong community/police partnership.
Our area is under a heat advisory until 8pm on Friday. Heat indexes of more than 100 degrees are expected. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
