Hello, neighbors!

It's a big week for summer in Madison, movies in the park, live music, and a full slate of community celebrations. As always, this newsletter is here to help you stay connected to what's happening in city government and around our neighborhoods, so you can plug in wherever works best for you. Whatever you have planned this week, I hope you get some time to enjoy the season.
