Dear Neighbors,
We have more community events, grant opportunities, and updates for you!
Free Shredding Services
Do you have personal documents that need to be shredded? Come by to our free shredding event Saturday, March 1,10 a.m.-noon (or until truck capacity is reached). We'll be at the Centennial Hills Community Center/YMCA east parking lot, 6601 N. Buffalo Drive.
You don't even need to get out of your car. Our volunteers and I will unload your documents for you! Some benefits to shredding your unwanted documents include fraud prevention, decluttering and sustainability!
More Brune Events
We have plenty more events for you as well! If you're looking for arts and culture, we have Literary Libations this Saturday and Concert in the Park: Korabo Taiko next week.
Are you a vendor? We're also seeking vendors for our Spring Fling event! More information about these events are included farther down in this newsletter.
Finally, as always, if there is anything Team Brune can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
At your service,
 Councilwoman Nancy E. Brune, Ph.D.

Spreading the Love Through Pickleball
Our second annual Love For All Pickleball Tournament was a smash hit, filled with plenty of love for the game and our community. Thank you to all of our picklers who joined us! And a shout-out to Ward 4 Councilwoman Francis Allen-Palenske for co-hosting this event with me!
After a tough face-off with Councilwoman Allen-Palenske, I brought the trophy home to Ward 6. Thank you, Ward 4, for a great match!
