Let the Seasons Begin….
October did not go out with a whimper but a major bang. Our business district is now sparkling with the tree lights. Donor ornaments with be hung this month. Boos and Brews on October 28th was a huge hit from Madison Valley to Madison Park with adults in a variety of Halloween fare. Trick or Treating had a tremendous turnout in the business district and Bathhouse.
Our October 30th neighborhood meeting had high attendance and lively presentations about the possibility of having our own community center, the challenges facing Madison Valley and McGilvra Elementary School and the events planned for the remainder of 2023. You can watch the meeting here.
November is truly the month of celebrations, gratitude and giving. Warmth and Wine was a sold out event on November 4th at Parkshore’s Lake View Room. Again, thank you soooo much to Parkshore for graciously hosting and supporting our event, to Leone & Vaughn Orthodontics for sponsoring the event, our 5 wineries for keeping the night humming along, to the businesses and neighbors who made our silent auction so successful and to all the volunteers who worked tirelessly to make this happen. See a few pics from the evening here.
