Good morning, neighbors 👋

It’s Tuesday, November 25th and I have a handful of happenings you might be interested in. But before we get to that, I wanted to quickly remind you that the Bridgeport Borough Police Department is now seeking out community partners to take part in their annual “wishlist” efforts. To learn more, please check out this post on their facebook page.

Have a Terrific Tuesday!

God Bless,

– Corey 💡
