It takes a village

Beth, Richard, and I want to express our appreciation for helping pull off such a successful event yesterday!  And, a huge thank you to all our neighbors who attended. It simply would not have happened without you.
  • Helene – you rallied your volunteer crew to distribute flyers off-cycle for the summer events, drawing RCP residents to the concert.
  • Ian, Erik, and Graham – your sign placement was impeccable ;).
  • Jennifer – your previous experience and availability to answer our questions along the way proved to be invaluable.
  • The team of Andrew, Don, George, Kip, Nick, Paul, and Todd – rumor has it that yours was the most efficient set up and breakdown in RCPNA history!
  • Hazel (Alyssa, Sean, and family) – your balloon animals were an absolute hit and there would probably still be a line for them if we had not stopped at 8:00pm! We love that we can say that we knew you before you were famous. Hopefully you’ll be willing to share your talents with us again.
  • And, a huge thank you to all of our RCP neighbors who attended.
Many thanks, all. RCPNA shines a bit more brightly because of you.

For those of you who weren’t able to make it, the lawn was full, attendees appeared to be happy and having a ball, and donations were generous. Keep an eye on the website for soon-to-be-uploaded photos taken by our own Treasurer and resident photographer, Richard.

On to the next summer gathering; we’ll see you at the ‘Movie in the Park’!
