Report: Patriotic Parade & Poolside Party

Thank you to everyone for making our July Patriotic Parade and Pool Party a grand success! 60 neighbors enjoyed great weather, a fun mini-parade, plenty of room to splash/float, and more tacos than we could ever need. We enjoyed the time with everyone and meeting some of you for the first time! We’re so grateful to the NCPNA board for reserving the pool and bringing the breakfast tacos. We’re extra thankful to Tricky Fish at CityLine for donating two $25 gift cards towards our incredible diaper/deodorant drive won by The Bromberg Family and The Manigold Family.

We donated 139 pounds of diapers, deodorant, and a few other items to the Network of Community Ministries!!
