Greetings Stanton Residents! I hope this edition of the newsletter finds you and your loved ones in good health and spirits.
Spring is here and we have an exciting season full of events ahead! I can’t wait to celebrate with our Stanton community at the Easter Egg Hunt on April 19. Don’t forget to bring your cameras - there will be plenty of great photo opportunities and a special chance to meet the Easter Bunny!
I’m so excited to share that our City-wide volunteer event is back on May 3! Grab your friends and neighbors for a day of service as we take on beautification projects that make a real difference in our community and show our Stanton pride!
