SOSNA Newsletter

TOMORROW! The SOSNA Summer Social!

Friends & Neighbors, 
The SOSNA Summer Social is here! Join us TOMORROW at Julian Abele Park from 3-8pm for a fun-filled day for the whole family!
Food:
Cool off with iced coffee and sparkling lemonade from Ultimo or a popsicle from the Igloo, grab a snack from the Poi Dog food truck, and check out Los Camaradas- they're running their Happy Hour food & drink menu for attendees of the event. And of course, you can bring your own picnic!
Activities:
At 3pm the Christian Street YMCA will kick-off the day with activities and kids' games. At 4pm enjoy a free, hour-long yoga class with experts from Raja Yoga. Be sure to bring water, your yoga mat, a hat and some sun screen. The Ready to Hand Weaving Studio will be in attendance all day with a loom creating a community weaving! Then, we'll have a DJ spinning some tunes from 5:30- 7pm!
Stick around until 7pm for the announcement of the 2015 Streetscape Competition winners and the SOSNA Higher Education Scholarship winner and help us recognize some special members of our community. At the end of the night SOSNA will raffle off a 20" mountain bike and helmet! You can enter the raffle throughout the day, but must be present to win the bike! Fireside Camp Supply is also giving away a weekend camping rental for two! To win, you can either sign up at their table tomorrow, or, follow them on instagram @FiresideCampSupply and post a picture at the SOSNA Summer Social with the hashtag #JulianAbelePark. Fireside will pick the winner at the end of the evening!
Stop by, bring a friend and meet a new neighbor!
Neighbors please note: the 2100 block of Carpenter Street will be CLOSED for the event and there will be no parking on the portion Carpenter Street adjacent to the park. Please move your car by 8:00am Saturday morning.
