Friends of Springfield Host Christmas Celebration

Friends of Springfield

 On Friday, December 9th, Friends of Springfield hosted a Progressive Dinner Party that included great food and conversation. Block Club members and friends went to four different homes on the 1800-1900 blocks of Springfield and enjoyed a four course meal as they celebrated the holiday season.  When people come together, great things can happen! This is an awesome example of how block clubs can celebrate commUNITY while getting to know your neighbors.
