Easter Egg Hunt

Back on Saturday, March 30, 2024 they arrived and took over the park with baskets ready to collect eggs and then prizes. We are appreciative of our egg hunt leadership, Shelley Whitkop, and the Girl Scout Troop!

For 2025, we are seeking new leadership. It is a beloved event in our neighborhood and we have lots of supplies to support it. Get in touch with us if you or your troop or teens are interested in taking it on. Thank you in advance!

September 16 Meeting Notes and Photos

by

On September 16, we welcomed fall by gathering outside at Drew Nielsen Park on our standard Thursday at 6:30 pm. We got to meet some new neighbors, hear about our plans for the park and the information board, and be together. It was a nice time.

About 28 folks gathered this night, including a youngster, and a few dogs, too. We mainly discussed the park planting and clean up event set for Saturday, October 2 from 9am to 1pm led by Holly. Also, Tim gave an update on the park information board featuring descriptions of Drew Nielsen, the park’s namesake, and the Northwest Neighborhood.

Our next meeting will be back on Zoom with guest speaker, Mayor Cassie Franklin, on Thursday, October 21 at 6:45pm. If you have questions you want to ask her, please email those in advance to Kari, who will forward them on to Nichole with the City.
