The annual Christmas Breakfast always proves to be one of the season's more anticipated traditions. It's held in early December at the Community House and features a full breakfast of some of your favorite foods. There is a medley of Christmas carols and, of course, a visit from Santa to hear the wish lists of all the youngsters.

If you attend one function all year, it should be June Day. It's for kids, but the age limit for kids is waived for the day.

This "end-of-summer" party is traditionally held at the Community House on the Friday following Labor Day. There is a basic menu of fish (salmon) or steak with an evening of conversation, dancing and neighborhood togetherness. The good thing about the steak roast is that if you don't like the food preparation, you get to do it the following year.

One of the most popular neighborhood events where hundreds of children descend on the grounds of the Community House for trick-or-treat fun.

The Chili Cook Off is a new neighborhood event to spark a little friendly competition and crown the best chili-maker in the neighborhood.
