Heart In the Park Campaign
Join Heart in the Park!
Display this heart in your window to let the world know your heart is with them during this pandemic. A local mom heard about an effort in the Midwest to display hearts in windows to show support for medical personnel fighting to help COVID-19 victims. Her son and daughter-in-law work in a local ER. She worries about them every day, but knows they are fighting for others and she is thankful.
Please join us in showing support for them and others who are fighting to stop this pandemic and keep us safe.
Mardi Gras Auction Postponed - Stay Tuned for New Date
We hope you are all safe and healthy during this very difficult and stressful time. As you know, all events are on hold until further notice which includes our rescheduled May 9th Mardi Gras Auction. We look forward to the day when we can hold our 1st Annual Mardi Gras Dinner Auction to help our City. Our hope is to reschedule the event this fall or in next March or April.
We’ll continue to count you in for our rescheduled event, and your ticket price will be carried forward to the new date, when it’s safe to hold our event. Stay tuned for communication when our new date is confirmed.
Fundraising will be more important than ever as a result of the challenges we have all faced with COVID-19. We look forward to seeing you, visiting with you, and together helping our beloved Normandy Park.
Thank you,
Susan West & Aimee Lloyd
