Hello RNeighbors Board members and friends.
Thank you so much for all of you who came out Friday for OAKtoberfest. Wow! What a fantastic evening of celebrating all things Rochester neighborhoods. If you missed the event but want to know what it was all about the evening’s program is attached. A big giant thank you to Rich Peterson for being our fearless leader for the evening, Samantha who pulled it all together, and to other board members and partners who pitched in to make the evening successful, not only in raising some needed funds (looks like we met our goal!) but also for honoring those doing good work our community, that often goes unrecognized. Like all of our events, it’s a team effort. We’ve got some great photos posted on facebook with more to come. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10154881432373132.1073741884.59122718131&type=1&l=a5a6f6f276
