Community Playground Survey

We shared the data with the city, which will begin their work to see if a new community playground can be a reality (cross your fingers!). There may be an attempt to get more data, so if you see the survey go around again and haven’t responded yet, please share your feedback. Thanks!

Charitable Events

We are always looking for ideas for charitable events. If you have an idea, please let us know! You can email elisaprimm@gmail.com. Thanks!
