Thanks for a great Love Thy Neighborhood Event

On Saturday, April 27th, homeowners, neighbors and friends gathered to celebrate the completion of Beaches Habitat’s OceanGate neighborhood. It was a beautiful day and a happy one, starting off with a brief program to recognize the many people and organizations who helped make OceanGate possible. We were pleased to present OceanGate’s newly elected Homeowner’s Association Board of Directors, who spoke about their vision for the future of the neighborhood. The Prep Club also recognized the highest achievers from the most recent academic quarter.

Following the ceremony, a number of community organizations set up tables to provide food and information for everyone at the event. There were also games and crafts for everyone to enjoy.

We are so grateful to everyone who helped and attended on Saturday and to all of you who have supported us along the way as we built in OceanGate. We look forward to a growing and thriving community in OceanGate thanks to all of you!
