The Social & Events Committee is hosting our annual spring social & WPNA Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 6 in Fletcher Park. It will take place the Saturday after Easter this year due to the early date of Easter and also due to that week being Spring Break for most schools in the area. Expect easter eggs for the kids, plus popcorn, and other treats from neighborhood businesses. RSVP online. The second annual Ramp Fest will be April 21. Featuring over a dozen local chefs preparing ramp-inspired dishes, all proceeds go to the Greg Hardesty Scholarship Fund and the ACLU. Follow on Instagram for ticket announcements. A spring cleanup is scheduled for 9am – 1pm, Saturday, May 11, starting at 12th and Tecumseh. Donuts and cleanup supplies will be provided. RSVP online. |

Last Saturday, Jess Martin, a Cottage Home neighbor, organized and led a cleanup of 10th Street. In the Windsor Park Facebook Group, Jess posted, “This was a huge success with the work getting done super fast due to so many people! We cleared TWO pick up trucks full of trash!” |
