Save the date for July's 'Community Cookout'

July 9 is known for many things. It's the date on which ...

• Argentina declared its independence from Spain.
• "Rock Around the Clock" became the first rock 'n' roll sing to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Top 10.
• The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, guaranteeing African-Americans full citizenship.
• Actors Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., and author Dean Koontz were born.

Oh, and it also is National Cookie Day.

But, all that aside, you probably will need to know that it's the date for a "Community Cookout" to be held on Hyland Court. 

This is the second community social event of the 2022-23 season -- the first was the holiday luncheon at McGrievey's -- as we strive to regain the pre-pandemic spirit of community fellowship we once enjoyed. And, it will be an excellent opportunity for newcomers to the Terrace to get to know their neighbors in a relaxed, fun atmosphere.

Plans are in the beginning stages, so you haven't missed anything. Closer to the event, Ellie DeBonis and others who are working on the event will post a signup sheet on the mailbox bulletin board asking how many people definitely will attend, and what sides and/or desserts they will bring. The Terrace Community Association will underwrite burgers, hot dogs, and other goodies as it has done in the past.
