Do you have an opinion about the direction you would like to see the Congress Park community going in? Do you have questions for the PTO Board or want to figure out where you can get involved? Do you want to meet some other CP family members?
Join your current PTO Board at Slaggers on April 4th from 7-9PM for some drinks, apps, and conversation.

Let’s relax and get to know each other a little better. The PTO will be providing some snacks, but drinks are on you! We look forward to getting to know our CP Family better, brainstorming ideas, and getting more people involved how they want to be involved!
