Welcome neighbors – new and old. Many of you reading this newsletter will be doing so for the first time. To you, I again say welcome and glad to have you in our midst. I think I speak for many of the ‘old timers’ when I say, "You’ve chosen a great place to live and I’m sure you’ll come to agree with us wholeheartedly."
We’ve got many great things to offer you. There’s that rip roarin’ Ice Cream Social coming up in a couple weeks. Follow that with our notoriously famous Spaghetti Dinner in October. And then, mark these evens on that social calendar: that groovy Winter Potluck in the early new year and finally, think of stacks of steaming pancakes ‘cause they’ll be coming your way at our Pancake Supper in May.
The Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood is home to the wonderful Tenney Park and Beach; if you haven’t been there yet, take a visit to see what we’re talking about. Over on East Johnson Street are many long time neighborhood businesses, stop by to say hello and see what they have to offer. Don’t forget East Washington Avenue either. There are many fine places of business located along the street waiting to serve you.
And, what would a neighborhood be without its neighborhood school. Ours is Lapham Elementary. If you haven’t been to the school, stop by for a visit. While you’re there, think about volunteering some of your time. A good volunteer is always in demand.
Ah, Tenney-Lapham. It’s got a whole lot going for it! See ya in the ‘hood.
