The Dunaire Spring Cook-Out!

This year's Dunaire Spring Cook-Out had a large neighborhood turnout and was a fantastic success! Virginia and Tony cooked up more hot dogs and hamburgers than the Varsity on game day, and long-time Dunaire residents and new neighbors mingled and forged new friendships. Special thanks to Virginia for all of her hard work in making the event so nice. We look forward to seeing everyone next year!!

Dunaire Neighborhood Spring Cook-Out is This Friday!

Our annual Dunaire Neighborhood Spring Cook-Out will be held this Friday, April 23rd, from 6:30pm until 8:30pm at the pool pavilion. This is a great opportunity to get connected with your neighborhood and make some new friends.  Come by anytime and enjoy food and drinks provided by the Dunaire Civic Association. 

In other neighborhood news, the pool clean-up was a great success and we had a really good volunteer turn-out.  We were able to get the pool drained, the surrounding area cleaned up, and the pavilion ready for Friday's cook-out.   A follow up is being planned to paint the pool and make sure it's looking its best.  And, it's not too late to join the pool for the upcoming season.  For information about pool membership, contact Virginia Barber, or e-mail DunaireNeighbors@aol.com.
