Fall is upon us once again, and along with the (slightly) cooling weather comes a number of great events all across the greater District 2 area. Some events are fall-themed while others highlight important issues like climate change and health, but they all provide a great way to spend your Saturday. Fall is the perfect time for you and your family to get involved in our community, so I hope to see you out there!
