24 SEP- Mazarick Park

This Friday 24 SEP at 10 am we'll be at Mazarick Park(1638 Belvedere Ave off of Bragg Blvd). This is a Fantastic Friday- Big kids are always welcome but we're especially encouraging them to come out for our Fantastic Fridays. I'm still working out the details but we should have some extra fun for the bigger kids like tennis, cards, kickball, frisbee golf.

I wanted to let you know about several fishing opportunities coming up in the next few weeks through the JohnPechmann Fishing Center by Lake Rim Park.

8 OCT we'll have a GRACE/ Fun Fridays trip to the Fishing Center. I'm sending out an evite tonight. Please let me know if you can come.
