In the spring, New Town neighbors came together on May 5th to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Chelsea Green's green space common area. Neighbors enjoyed tacos with all the fixings desserts and salads. We played badminton and corn hole and had wonderful conversations in a circle that formed. It was good to connect with each other. The children took turns and actively swung a cane at the pinata until the pinata broke open and the kids dived on the candy
A raffle (gift card, courtesy of New Town Commercial Association) was won by Sue and Jim Turbish from Charlotte Park.

Our events at the pool have also made a splash! So far this summer, neighbors have enjoyed two lunch-time pizza parties. Pizzas with various toppings, watermelon, brownies, and beverages were available for all. The watermelon is always a big hit on hot summer afternoons. There were some groups of families that included several generations, which is always fun to see. We also had some recent newcomers in attendance; they received a warm welcome to the New Town community.
Two evening socials were also held at the pool. At the June 28 poolside social, residents appreciated an inviting array of appetizers. The large dessert tray was also a hit as was the raffle. July 28th was another fun evening, even though it was sweltering.
The Activities Committee will host a final lunchtime pizza party on August 26th. We look forward to seeing you there.
