Twilight Walks

Governor Francis Neighborhood Walks: Meet the Neighbors, Exercise, Be Visible!

As mentioned in a previous e-mail, the Farms is again experiencing vandalism in the form of graffiti on public signs and property in the neighborhood. A couple of neighbors led by Maria Tocco and Laura Pisaturo (Apple Tree Lane) are beginning "neighborhood walks".
 
Starting this Sunday night, June 27th at 7:30 pm neighbors can meet at the Namquid rotary and walk for as long or as short a walk as you would like. You may choose to meet up with this group, or simply make a point to get out after dinner and walk around your block (or maybe more!)

We are letting would-be vandals know that neighbors are outside and watching for anything out of the ordinary in the early evening hours near dusk.

Whether you go out alone, with your spouse, children or pets, remember to stay safe by wearing reflective clothing or carrying a flashlight, and making sure your pets are clearly visible to cars if taking them along for the walk.

Hope to see you outside and walking!

Bike Parade

The bike parade was a great success. We had about 100 neighbors come out to join us. Bikes, helmets, wagons, scooters and the like were decorated and everyone had a great time. We had ice cream sundaes after the ride to celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of fall. It was wonderful to see everyone and the creative decorations.
