It’s My Park Day

Gary Barton, the NPNA Park & Creek Leader coordinated 20 adults and 13 children on their jobs cleaning the park and creek.  Shelby Collier, Jan Mateja and Joan Dolan cleaned & distributed mulch in the seven flower beds.  The weather was perfect.  Thank you to all of you who helped.  A special Thank You to Sandy Blaydes for taking the photos, plus many other photos in this newsletter.

Besides paper trash and cans, volunteers found a tire, chainlink fence, lumber, a $20 bill and part of a pellet gun.

National Night Out/ Ice Cream Social

What a fun event – even if we had to stand in the drizzle. Everyone brought an umbrella and seemed happy to attend. I’m sorry the weather prevented some of you from attending. Will hope for better weather next year. The Braum’s ice cream was delicious. Thanks to all of you sending in your RSVP.
