Earth Day Celebration Sat April 25th

2/28/2020

0 Comments

 
Mark your calendars for a nice Earth Day celebration in Curtis Green park on Saturday afternoon, April 25th. Surprised at such advanced warning? That’s because you are cordially invited to help shape what this event becomes.

Left to their own devices, Nicky and Louella will have some trees you can plant at or near your house (and some volunteer muscle to help make that happen) as well as some eats and good company.

If you would like to add your time, energy, and ideas to the mix, we would love to hear from you. Email Louella or Nicky — we’re putting together an email group so we can keep meetings to a minimum and fun to a maximum.

Sound good? We hope so. Looking forward to seeing what develops.

Games in the park Sundays at (around) 3pm

0 Comments

 
We get together to play all kinds of games on Sundays at the spiral bench on Lamphere just south of Chalfonte.

It's a completely drop-in Sunday funday with games like Scrabble, Pictionary, Uno, Chess, Jenga, Taboo, and cards. Don't see your favorite game listed? We may have acquired it or you can bring it with you and teach folks how to play.

If you're feeling like a little more action, we've got some lawn games and some kids are always up for freeze tag or something else wiggly.

Since it's outdoor fun, we cancel when the weather doesn't cooperate. (Maybe in the winter we'll build snow creatures? Only time will tell.)

​Come join the fun and meet some new neighbors!

Chatting and chewing starts at 6:30, the official meeting starts at 7, and we strive to end the business by 8:30.

We welcome all interested parties and encourage you come whether or not you've had a chance to whip up something tasty in your kitchen. Sliced watermelon or a carry out pizza are great offerings, and if you don't have time to pick up or whip up something, we still want to meet you!

Hope to see you soon.
