Nominate Someone Great

🎄 Help Us Celebrate Our Community's Stars! 🎄
We're filling the beautiful Kennedy Plaza Christmas tree with ornaments honoring the amazing people among us. Do you have a neighbor who always takes in your garbage bins? A teacher who's gone above and beyond for your child? Or perhaps a veteran who deserves recognition? Maybe a friend who's always helping others?
Nominate these incredible individuals to be featured on the tree. One lucky resident or two will be chosen to help light the tree on Friday, December 5th!
