Hi There!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope you all are having a great new year. We are excited to share with you several new updates to our community. First off, we are hoping to have our online newsletter go out monthly instead of quarterly this year. With the new letter schedule we are hoping to add some interesting columns such as house of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have also revamped the website to make it a bit prettier and easier to maintain. Feel free to take a look by visiting northflorence.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, we are seeking a volunteer to take over as secretary. We are grateful for Tim’s help the last couple years and are sad to see him go. We wish him all the best as he takes time to focus on caring for his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quarterly Joke<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is the tallest building in the world? The library \u2013 it\u2019s got the most stories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quarterly Poem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We never know how high we are
Till we are called to rise;
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heroism we recite
Would be a daily thing,
Did not ourselves the Cubits warp
For fear to be a King\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the Block<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
