Your countdown to the weekend begins here.
1. Give toys for the holidays
Do you have an unwrapped toy sitting around for a child to play with? Bring it to the Highland Park Recreation Center, where kids from low-income families will be getting toys on Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. while they have breakfast with Santa, get their faces painted and enjoy a variety of arts and crafts. Students from Franklin High School have been collecting toys for this event for weeks, and they will be bringing them to the rec center at 5 p.m. on Friday.
2. Vote for York Park design
Have you voted online for which of three proposed designs you'd like to see implemented in the construction of York Park on the corner of York Boulevard and Avenue 50? If not, you have until 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14, to do so—either online or in person on Saturday at the site of the park's proposed construction. Want to vote online? Just click here.
