Welcome to the June Edition of the
SRPMIC Monthly Newsletter!
It's officially summer and that means all sorts of ways to beat the heat, from relaxing at The Cool Place to chilling at the Summer Speaker Series. This month is the perfect time to celebrate community by attending events such as SRPMIC Day and the Miss Salt River and Jr. Miss Salt River Pageants. Let's be more connected to one another this month and cheer each other on! The more involved we are in local activities, the stronger our Community gets.
