Happy New Year Neighbors!

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! January is here, and it is the time when many of us reassess our busy lives and think about what we want to accomplish or do to balance our lives during the next year. I'm sure many of you have set new goals or planned something fun and exciting for 2017.

So, resolve to get involved this year with Newcomers and Neighbors. If you've been tempted to attend an event but decided not to at the last minute, January's your chance! And if you know of anyone who may want to be more social or are looking to meet

new people, please bring them to an event this year. We love seeing new faces!

Cheers to a Happy, Fun & Neighborly 2017!
