Huge Help
A huge
thank you to all those who have donated to improve the Dog Park. With a recent donation of four additional trees from a resident, along with the 31 donated from Wabo Construction, we now have a total of 35 new trees! Thanks to Wabo Construction, those trees also have been staked, mulched, and equipped with bubbler irrigation. In addition, a permanent shade structure will be coming to the park within the next few weeks! |

This week in History
On April 11, 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte, who was emperor of France as well as one of the brightest military leaders in history, abdicated his throne and is exiled to the island of Elba in the Mediterranean Sea. He did this due to his failed invasion of Russia, which led to his military forces retreating and disbanding. This caused him to loose support, thus leading to his exile. However the exile was not permanent. Napoleon escaped Elba and returned to Paris to reclaim his throne. After his defeat at the battle of Waterloo he was exiled a second time to another island, but this island of Saint Helena was located in the southern Atlantic Ocean. |
