Wow, what a wonderful July 4 parade and celebration we had in Rollingwood.  Many thanks to all the volunteers who organize and work this amazing community event, especially our chair Liz Krakow.  Also thanks go to food chair Troye Campbell, kid activities chair, Amy Ellis, flag sales chair, Karen Thomas, parade marshal, Bill Hamilton, ice cream chair Lauren Reynolds, and tee shirt chairs Lisa Kirkpatrick and Marilyn Kounnas.  Tiffany Marascio and Vanessa, BIG thanks for helping with the decorations!!  This is one of the most fun community events we have, and it is because of you! One of the highlights and major fundraisers of our celebration each year is our huge raffle, so I’d like to extend a huge THANK YOU to the local businesses that donated items and gift certificates (see Liz Krakow’s letter).   In addition, I’d like to encourage all Westbank residents to patronize these businesses; they go out of their way to support our community in so many ways, we should make a point to support them! Finally, Bistro 88 made a generous donation to our raffle, and they were inadvertently left off our mailing, so I would like to take this letter to give them one extra THANK YOU.  Laura HirschfeldPresident, Rollingwood Women’s Club

At the 12/17 City Council meeting the Rollingwood Neighborhood Association (RNA) and Rollingwood Womens’ Club (RWC) presented their joint gift to the City.  This year’s gift is a public address system ($3,000) for meetings held in city hall.  This system makes it easier to hear conversations during meetings and also improves the quality of archival recordings.

In addition, the RWC presented a $10,000 gift to build shade structures for the lower playground.  Based on this gift, the City is also able to apply for matching funds Johnson & Johnson.
