Help Us Decide: Movies in the Park
We want to know what movie our neighbors want to see in Arbor Lodge Park this summer. Our Board has picked some options from a list of movies that the Parks Department is allowed to show, and now we want your input!
To help us decide, please check the box next to any movie you'd like to see at Arbor Lodge Park. Feel free put a check next to as many options as the list as you want. We'll pick from the highest scorers. Thanks in advance for your time and input.
Questions? Want to help out with the event by helping us brainstorm fun activities and raise money for sponsorships? Contact: board@arborlodgeneighborhood.org
