Thank you to all neighbors who came out to celebrate our National Night Out event on October the 6th. The HOA provided Coney Island Hotdogs, a rock-climbing wall, and a bounce house. The Garden Exchange was a great success along with the All-Star Martial Arts team who was there for some safety demonstrations. It was great seeing everyone enjoying the event and meeting with our local Law Enforcement and Fire Department.
