Welcome!
Summer is finally here...and with summer comes the end of the RPE event year. But never fear - we're ending this year on a high note with fun activities for the whole family! There are also many great local events around town that you should check out -- from the CCNS Art Show, to Shakespeare on the Sound at Pinkney Park, the River Ramble, and of course, the Summer Concert Series at Bayley Beach. This has been a great year, and we hope you all have been able to enjoy many of the wonderful parties, activities, and play dates we've hosted, as well as taken the opportunity to get to know other families in our area. Have a fantastic summer!
STAY CONNECTED THIS SUMMER. If you have not joined the RPE message board, consider doing so! It is a growing resource for local activity ideas as well as a way to sell that big wheel to a neighbor. Please contact Alyson for more information, or consider signing up to receive updates from the RCA.
Mark your calendars for the following RPE events (please go to the Event Calendar for more details and information on how to RSVP).
Wednesday, June 12th at 4-5pm: Gardening at Fodor Farm

Saturday, June 15 at 4-6pm: 'Hello Summer' Family Happy Hour at Bayley Beach
Please join us for pizza, wine, beer, juice boxes and sandcastles to toast the arrival of Summer. We will have a few silent auction items to add to your summer fun (including a week of Packer Soccer Camp and a birthday party package). Partially sponsored by our neighbor, the Darien-Rowayton Bank. (Rain Date: June 22)
Location: Bayley Beach Please RSVP to eventsrpe@gmail.com and put "Beach Happy Hour" in the subject line. |
Looking for a great way to become actively involved in the RPE? Please consider volunteering for next year's RPE board. There are a range of roles and responsibilities. This is a fantastic way to have fun with other moms & dads planning and executing next year's events.
Just a little of your personal time will continue to make the RPE a success for everyone. Even if you just can volunteer to be a point person for one event every other month, everyone's participation is welcome and needed. Many of our board members are moving on, since their kids are getting older, so we highly encourage those interested to contact us. Please email Marsden for more information (or reach out to any of the current board members). Thanks for your continued support!
