I’m taking some time off from blogging, barring a significant breaking news story.
In the meantime, please mark your calendars for some terrific local events coming up this month …
- Wednesday, August 12: Community Night Out. The South Milwaukee Police Department invites people of all ages to gather from 5:30 to 9 p.m. behind City Hall to meet public safety workers and other organizations from around the area and enjoy food, games, demonstrations and more. The evening concludes with fireworks. Here is a flyer.
- Friday, August 21: Guardian Credit Union Dinner and a Movie. Grab dinner at a local restaurant, then check out a free outdoor showing of “Big Hero 6” at 11th and Madison Avenues, site of the farmers’ market. The movie starts around dusk, but come early to enjoy face painting, tattoos and a glow-in-the dark painting project presented by KinderCare. Check out the Guardian website for more information. Here is KinderCare’s website.
- Saturday, August 29: Restore the Lagoon Festival. Enjoy food, drinks, live music, a silent auction, a kids’ corner and more for this second-annual event held on Oak Creek Parkway at the Mill Pond from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Check out a flyer and more information on Restore efforts on the Restore the Lagoon Facebook page.
As you plan for these, I thank you for reading this blog. We’ve blown past 500,000 page views since this launched in 2009, and I look forward to an even brighter future as we push toward one million. One million!
I also ask you to like my Facebook page, which I update regularly with content you can’t find here. And I’m on Twitter (#MayorBrooks).
Transparency is important to me, and I pledge to keep lines of communication open at all times.
