"The mystery of community is precisely that it embraces all people, whatever their individual differences may be, and allows them to live together as brothers and sisters of Christ and sons and daughters of his heavenly Father."
—Henri Nowen

All are invited to an informational meeting hosted by Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative regarding their plans to build The Aragon, an affordable housing development, on the Ryan Field land we are planning to sell to Beacon.

At the meeting, you will hear about the process to receive approval for the land use, the supportive services planned on-site for The Aragon, and the architect’s design plans for the property.

Fellow Gardeners: It's time to share with the community again.
National Night Out will be here before you know it. We will have a produce table there again this year, and any extras you have to donate will be greatly appreciated.
