Community Garage Sale Day will be held on Saturday, June 3rd. There is no cost to have your sale listed on the map, but you must contact Jana Hance by Wednesday, May 31st to have your listing on the map. There will be no late additions this year as I will be out of the office. Maps will be printed on the 31st. The library will be where you will purchase the map, cost will be $1.00 and the funds raised from the map sales will go to the library.

There was discussion on when to have a community garbage pick up day. No date has been set at this time. More to come after the May meeting.

Fireworks will be on Tuesday, July 4th at Circle City Park (weather permitting). There has been discussion for making this a bigger event with games and possibly food trucks earlier in the evening.
