Community Picnic: Celebrating Local Assets & Each Other
On Wednesday, August 3, more than 7,000 people gathered in celebration of each other and our shared place at the fifth annual Community Picnic. Thank you to the 61 community partners, and more than 400 volunteers who generously contributed to the Community Picnic with Incourage. The event was a heartwarming example of what makes our community special. Please click on any of the above photos to view the event album, and be on the lookout for even more photos and additional information soon.

We believe an informed and engaged community is a healthy community. Here are two upcoming opportunities to get engaged:
