Thinking of the first executive director of the Leavenworth Road Association, Helen Folsom, as her son passed away June 10.
Brighter updates:
The Kids’ Fishing Derby was a success, we had great weather and a little over 100 kids.
Our summer youth program is up and running. We have placed 26 and I still have six others that I am working to get placed.
Taking a deep breath, then put a lot of energy into the annual parade Sept. 18. Need an entry form? We got ’em.
Also working on an afternoon social event, get your dancin’ shoes out, maybe you are just a clapper, or toe tapping, or maybe just a listener. We plan to cover all those and have some willing instructors that will teach your feet.
Above is a picture from our June 14 meeting. We had several speakers drop by also: Commissioner Jane Philbrook, State Sen. David Haley, along with three candidates running for judge, Renee Henry, Vicki Meyer and Courtney Mikesic. Also attending was Mark Dupree, a candidate for district attorney. Then Cassandra Daniel, an officer with code enforcement, explained some of the policies.
In August we are sharing our meeting in order for a Town Hall type meeting that Commissioner Jane Philbrook is putting together. These are always very informative and will be at Eisenhower Center in place of our regular meeting.
