City: The city calendar says the Parks and Recreation Commission meets Monday at 6pm in the Community Center, but that’s Memorial Day so I’m going to guess that’s not happening. If the commission does meet, and you really wanted to go but you missed it because I said it probably wasn’t going to happen, then I apologize and if you come by the Foundation office one day this summer, I’ll give you a 3 Musketeers bar (fun size only) to make up for it. 

Have a great week ! Together, we provide opportunity. Thank you!
