Hello Friends and Neighbors,

We want to take a moment to introduce ourselves as your new co-chairs for the 49th annual Points 4th of July celebration. My name is Evans Nguyen, and I recently moved to Yarrow Point with my wife, Jackie Freeman. Jackie and her parents are long-time residents of Yarrow Point (Mel has lived here since 1970, served five terms on the council, was the pro-tem Mayor from 1974 to 1994, and attended the first Points 4th of July celebration!). Though Jackie lived elsewhere for a while, we recently moved back to her childhood home to be a multi-generational household with two grandparents, three kids, three dogs, and a lot of new adventures!

Moving back here is important to us for many reasons, but at the top of our list is tradition and community. That is why we are excited to continue our community’s beloved Fourth of July activities, including Family Bingo, the Pet Parade, Pickleball, the Street Parade, Family Picnic, and so much more!

But these events can’t happen without YOU! We are hopeful that with enough community support, we can continue Fourth of July events this year and well into the future. To keep these traditions alive, please consider donating your time or funds. A suggested $250 per household is being asked to help us reach our fundraising target. These donations support a week of events, including contests and prizes, the Party at the Park, our beloved parade and street fair, rentals, a live brass band and DJ, face painting, and so much more. And there is no better way to get to know your community than helping grill a hot dog, serve a beer, sell tickets, or participate in any of our numerous events.

To make a financial contribution, you can find us on Venmo at @Points4July or visit our website.

To contribute your time, please check out our extensive list of volunteer opportunities here.

Thank you for your continued support – let’s make this year great!
