Love this place, love Julie.

Today we have Julie Krehbrel playing the harp 🪉 for us at 11 for our First Thursday Music 🎶 Series! So enjoyable and melts the stress away!

 Saturday morning from 8:30 to 9:30 we have Coffee with Cops! This is your chance to ask the kind of questions that don’t seem important enough to call the police about, but are important to you. It’s also a chance to meet the police in our community, our own community liaison officer, Trevor, will be here.

 Thanks to our lovely Sharon Neely for the wonderful spring flowers! Xoxo
