Welcome to January! If you've managed to avoid the flu ravaging the city, stay busy in our neighborhood with some of the events happening below :)

As we wrap up the year, I would also LOVE to know what you want more of in 2026, in case you haven't shared yet. I put together a super quick survey to get your thoughts!

Cheers,

Stacey
