1. But first, we can’t neglect the weather! Today will be sunny with a high near 89 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. This evening will be mostly clear with a low around 68 degrees. Sounds like perfect weather for an outdoor barbeque to me!

Community members are invited to attend this meeting at the school and offer input.

4. If you speak Chinese or want to practice, join the meeting at the at 6 p.m. This month’s discussion will be of "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama. Didn’t have time to read this month’s selection? Join the book club on July 5 as they read "Story of Pan" by Nan Shi.
