Weekend Update

Dear Resident,

We enjoyed perfect weather and a large turnout for our 10th of July concert and fireworks. It takes a team to make an event of this size run seamlessly.  Please join me in thanking our Department of Public Works, Police, Fire, First Aid and police cadets.  The Department of Recreation and Swim led by Department Head Suzi Leifer and the Recreation and Swim Committee Chaired by Adam Dictrow. 

We are looking forward to more summer events.  Next up, bring the family and join us on July 21 for movie night under the stars featuring Encanto.  See below for more information about upcoming recreation events, including our first ever classic car show!
