Summer Playgroup | Beginning June 2 | Thursdays 9:30 - 11:30 am
Calling all children ages six and under—and their moms! Beginning June 2 and running into August, a playgroup will meet on Thursday mornings from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. We'll rotate "hosting" duties each week, which really just means picking the location—and that could be a local park, Blacknall, the Museum of Life and Science, the new downtown library, or a local pool, just to name a few possibilities.
Please Choose Your Family’s Portrait
If you got your picture taken at the Block Party, you should have received an email from Imago Dei Media (Paul and Andrea Tshihamba) with a link to a gallery of proofs. Please select your favorite portrait. Once you make your choice, your photo will be touched up if needed, and the final photo will be downloadable at full resolution, with full printing rights at no cost to you. if you did not receive this email or have questions, please contact Paul Tshihamba at paul@imagodeimedia.com.
