Thank You Note from a Whitefish Bay Resident
Good morning-

My neighbors and I had an excellent experience with the fire department visit to our block party Saturday (800 E Birch). The crew was very kind and super engaging. We learned it was their THIRD block party that day. I'm sure that can get a little old...
 
Well it was very impactful for the kids and the adults and we really appreciated it.
 
Thanks to all!!
