A Celebration of Neighbors
 Taking a look back on this past year, our proudest moment was fighting the County’s plan to close the David Schulz Aquatic Center in Lincoln Park… and winning! On Tuesday, March 20th, we are going to celebrate our victory and honor those who helped win this fight. Then we’ll look to the future and ask you “What’s Next”? We’ll top it all off with ice cream and cake. We hope you’ll join the party, 6:30 at the Blatz Pavilion.
Annual Meeting:
 March 20th is also our annual meeting, so we’ll take 5 minutes out to introduce and elect our board for 2018. Please support our work and click Join Now to start or renew your membership

Altogether it adds up to a lot of fun and excitement in the Park this Spring. Please come help us Celebrate!
