Our final meeting of 2026 will be tomorrow, Thursday, October 8th! There will not be a November meeting due to scheduling conflicts. We hope to see you at our annual potluck. Don't forget that WCNA will be providing the main dish and drinks. If you would like to contribute, please bring a side dish or dessert to share. And as always, we encourage you to bring a donation to Mt. Calvary's food pantry. The church graciously allows us to use their facility free of charge, and this is a small way we can say thank you as they work to meet the needs of our community.

Say hello. It plays in Peoria! 👋 🏘️

Did you know the city is offering $100 to 15 Peoria residents to bring their neighbors together for a small gathering this fall with the Hello Neighbor Gathering Fund?

Host a porch party. Order pizza. Plan a stroller walk with coffee and pastries. Host a game night. Meet at the park – or dream up something entirely your own. However you do it, the goal is simple: get to know your neighbors!

Applications will be accepted until Tuesday, September 22.
