I hope everyone enjoyed the Independence holiday. I celebrated with my family at the Royal Palm park with our North Phoenix neighbors. We love this celebration and have so much fun there every year. Thank you to the neighborhood for organizing and the local businesses and community groups that participated!

Stay cool as we enter peak summer heat. If you want to help others feel relief, consider leaving cold beverages for USPS workers by your mailbox and keeping mini umbrellas, hydration packets, and sunscreen in your car to offer to those without shelter from the elements.
With kindness,
