We want you to get more business!! Bring your business cards/flyers/tchotkys to the park this Friday and display on our Local Business table. We encourage some type of item to weight down the papers in case it’s windy. Go local! (please be responsible for grabbing your remaining materials at the end of the event, thanks)
If you have a pet, please be sure to keep it safe and secure inside. Remember often dogs and cats are scared by the “thunder” of firecrackers and may try to run away from the noise, and often sadly run away from their homes and owners. Be especially aware when going in and out when there are fireworks noise as they may try to slip out. Likely Friday AND Saturday will be noisy nights!
District 7 party, June 29th, 4pm-6pm (or when the cows come home!)

– One of our local food pantries (St. Marks) is very low, so we will have a box out for nonperishable goods if you want to help out! (cans, cereal, etc.)

Here’s some info from Northwest Hills and surrounding areas:
In two recent burglaries on the same street (Chimney Corners off of Far West in NW Hills), we have the following descriptions of vehicles believed to be involved:
May 7: A grey/navy Dodge Charger sped from the scene when a neighbor across the street turned on her lights. It was a burglary and they went in through a back door. It’s believed that a white lookout vehicle was also involved.
April 6: A red pickup truck was seen dropping off three guys with backpacks and picking them up an hour later around the time of the burglary. They went around back to enter the house through a window.
Early this morning a resident nearby saw a grey Dodger driving slowly down her street and she believes they were casing houses. She called it into APD.
