Hey {{first_name | Friend}}! 👋

The forecast this week is basically "wear less, hydrate more, don't touch the slide", which is where the "but-they-still-need-to-DO-something" math gets tricky.

This week's scoop: a barn movie night under the stars, a fire truck plus face paint plus free ice cream, and Kelso Cove just opened for the season, a forest-dome glamping getaway with a hot tub AND A/C plus a new community sensory room led by a certified multisensory room practitioner.

Note: This is your HALTON Edition. Reply YORK to switch. Or BOTH to get both editions.
