Social Shenanigans!

Q2 EVENTS RECAP

In May the Spring Garage sales occurred. The Fall garage sales are scheduled for October 4th & 5th. In June, the Social Committee hosted the annual Take a Kid Fishing day. The Social Committee had hoped to host a new event, the Neighborhood Picnic. Unfortunately, predicting weather outcomes isn't our forte! Read more below for additional information and an updated date.

TAKE A KID FISHING

The annual Take a Kid Fishing day at the neighborhood pond took place on June 22nd. We always enjoy seeing how excited kids get when catching a fish - sometimes their first catch! The Social Committee works with the Department of Conservation each year to obtain extra fishing poles and fishing bait to use for this event.

NEIGHBORHOOD PICNIC

On June 29th, we anticipated hosting the Neighborhood Picnic. Unfortunately, due to weather concerns the Social Committee opted to postpone the event until August 24th from 2 - 4 PM.

Please sign your family up so we can plan food and activities accordingly: https://forms.gle/pwkdTP9WAxucyWg57
