UHNA's illustrious Social Chair Shane Murphy has announced the need to step back from coordinating Playgroup going forward-
"Happy summertime everybody! > > I’ve made the difficult decision to step back from coordinating Underwood Hills playgroup. I’m now working at my office five days a week and come August, both my kids will arrive home after 5pm. I’m happy to advise and help any interested leaders. > > If you or anyone you know may be interested, please contact me. > > Shane"
Since Shane taking on Playgroup it's expanded to one of the major social and networking events in the neighborhood, occurring nearly every Friday during school term, with a beautiful colorful banner and refreshments, with reimbursement available from UHNA.

Thank you to our lovely volunteers, keeping the new plants watered as needed. The good thing about native plantings is that, once established they need very little care; no fertilizers, pesticides or irrigation (unless in a severe drought). And they feed and shelter the birds, bees and bugs that keep things going!
Although the various species flower at different times, there's quite a few out now, so go check'em out.

There were no significant incidents to report.

Best,

Det. Kevin Leonpacher
