Community Update Summer 2008 A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR: LOUISVILLE ROCKS Summer is rapidly approaching and the vibrancy of our community becomes even more apparent. We look forward to many outdoor events with the Taste of Louisville, Street Faire, and the July 4th Celebration. All culminating with our year there is also a Farmer's Market, which takes place Saturdays from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM in Historic Downtown. I am not forgetting the myriad of softball and baseball tournaments, soccer games, golf tournaments, bocci games, bicycling races, and certainly the running events available for many of us. onset of summer means picnics, community celebrations, reunions, gradua- tions, neighborhood gatherings, landscaping, and even some time for our individual pursuits. What could be more exhilarating? We are such an active community and I want us to become a more active community. We talk about livability and healthy lifestyles, but all of us, starting with yours truly, need to be more mindful. Sum- mer is a great time to embark on new activities and perhaps resume some neglected activities. Walking is a wonderful exercise and allows us to see our neighbors, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Louisville, and appreciate our many trails and open space. Can you imagine a better morning or evening than the breathtaking backdrop of the Flatirons as you navigate or meander on Davidson Mesa?
