"My perfect weekend is going for a walk with my family in the park. I don't think there's anything better." – Anne Wojcicki

Did you know the first Saturday in July is National Hop-A-Park Day? This is a day that encourages people to get out and explore the parks around them! Parks provide a great place for people to gather and enjoy nature. Whether they’re tucked away in neighborhoods, the center of cities and towns, or part of a nature reserve, parks are important to the wellbeing of our peoples and planets!

Happy Fourth of July!

“We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.” — William Faulkner


As we gather for this long weekend to celebrate the anniversary of our nation’s independence, let us use this time to reflect on what America means to ourselves and what it could mean for others. Need does not get a vacation so just as we want to gather and enjoy the company of our friends and family, it is important to remember those who may have a more complicated relationship to Independence Day or are otherwise requiring help this holiday.
