Easter Egg-Stravaganza Thank You!
The Jefferson Memorial Park Advisory Council would like to thank all the children and their parents who participated at our Annual Eater Egg Hunt. We had an EGG-Cellent turnout this year, with lots of families enjoying the day. There were numerous prizes given for those who traded their plastic egg shells and the Easter Bunny made a surprise appearance to take photos with all of the families!

Please Donate! Your donation will go toward helping to improve the condition of the park (from fixing blighted common areas and infrastructure to adding improved walking areas and equipment), creating events for the neighborhood to enjoy (movies in the park, holiday events, pet events), and helping to promote safe and clean usage of the park by everyone in the area.
