Dear Neighbors,
I hope your summer is treating you well and that you had a fun and safe Independence Day with your family and friends. I’ve enjoyed seeing many of you around the community and look forward to meeting and interacting with more of you in the weeks to come. Below is a quick update with some news and information from St. Paul and around our community.
