Join us on June 10th at 6pm! I will be posting the flyer on my public business page so that everyone can easily share it from there. Please help spread the word and encourage your friends, family, neighbors, and fellow community members to attend. The more people we have involved, the stronger our voice becomes.

I know this is an incredibly busy time of year for many of us. Between work, family activities, graduations, vacations, and everyday responsibilities, it can be difficult to find extra time. Believe me, I understand—I am feeling the same pressures. However, we are at a critical point where we need to continue moving forward and responding quickly as new developments arise.

We will be providing updates on the steps currently being taken, organizing volunteer groups for flyer distribution, discussing upcoming community outreach efforts, and making plans for our presence in the Swede Day Parade. Every person who attends can help contribute ideas and be part of the next phase of our efforts.
I want to sincerely thank everyone who has continued to follow along, stay engaged, make posts, share information, attend meetings, sign petitions, and support this cause. Grassroots movements succeed because ordinary people continue showing up, even when the process becomes challenging and exhausting. Your support truly matters and has helped us get this far.

We must continue to rally together, stay informed, and keep our community involved. We are not giving up, and this fight is nowhere near over. There is still important work to be done, and every voice makes a difference.

I hope to see you there on June 10th. Thank you all for your continued support and dedication to our community.

🍩 Happy National Donut Day! 🍩

What better way to spend a Friday than stopping by your favorite donut shop for a sweet treat? Whether you're a fan of classic glazed, chocolate frosted, maple bars, or filled donuts, today is the perfect excuse to indulge!

Fun Donut Facts:
🍩 National Donut Day is celebrated on the first Friday of June each year.

🍩 The holiday was established in 1938 by The Salvation Army to honor the "Donut Lassies," volunteers who served donuts and coffee to soldiers during World War I.

🍩 Americans consume billions of donuts every year, making them one of the nation's favorite pastries.

🍩 The largest donut ever made weighed over 1.7 tons and was more than 16 feet in diameter!

🍩 The hole in the middle became popular because it helped donuts cook more evenly.

🍩 There are over 10 billion donuts made in the United States annually.

So grab a donut, share a smile, and celebrate this delicious holiday one sprinkle at a time! 🍩☕😋

Warning: Donut calories don't count on National Donut Day... at least that's what we're telling ourselves today! 😂🍩💕

I’m so proud of how much they’ve grown since the beginning of the season. It’s the best feeling seeing those big smiles as they hit the final stretch, especially when they spot my camera 📸✨ Some of their “look right at me” moments are pure gold!

Keep shining, runners! Can't wait to see more smiles and sprints next fall! 🌟🥳
