CONNECTING WITH FRIENDS
Our Local Leaders hosted "C.I.T.Y. in the Park" playdates all around Chicagoland last month, and we loved to see moms, dads (!), and kids connect with other families in the neighborhood. Due to the strong response, many of the attendees suggested we host more playdates this month. Scroll down to see the new calendar, and join us outside--while the weather is nice--to meet up at the park!
FAMILY FUN BASEBALL NIGHT: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11TH
We would love for C.I.T.Y. of Support to have a great showing that night. Together, we'll enjoy a family-friendly summer night out, watch some baseball, and connect with others in our C.I.T.Y!

C.I.T.Y. CLOSE-UPS
Meet Brooklyn! Her mom says:
"I’m so lucky I have Brooklyn in my life. She continues to amaze me every day. She never gets angry when she can’t do something, she just keeps trying until she’s able to get it done. She also has an amazing personality, and such a creative imagination during pretend play, she makes laugh every day! Brooklyn has lots of struggles but I don’t focus on that, she is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. Watching her grow makes me so excited to see what life will have to offer us next. I have no doubt that as long as we are together, we will conquer anything."
THANK YOU, JULY BIRTHDAY BUDDIES!
