Tomorrow is the day! We have over 30 organizations signed up, games and activities planned, music, food, and in the heat the splash pad will be hoppin'! All youth must have a permission form to use the bounce houses or get food (chips, hot dog, water, ice cream). Registration and bathrooms will be at the building by the splashpad. Look for the balloon arch!

Happy Earth Day 🌏🌱🌿🌳🌷💟

ATFC Coordinators kicked things off by hosting an Earth Day Clean-up in The Village of Fonda Park on Saturday, 4/18. The goal was to pick up litter, and to bring awareness about to***co litter specifically, and how it impacts the health of the environment and community members.

To***co doesn’t just negatively impact the health of individuals; it also endangers the health of the environment. E-cigarette and cigarette waste can make its way into the environment where it pollutes water, air, and land with toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and residual ni****ne.
