Welcome Neighbors!

Hello Fellow Neighbors!

We are starting a new communications effort to reach our community.  We, the board, have decided to use the Blogger.com with our new RKHA blog as a tool to do so.

We will be posting updates on all sorts of topics including schedules of events, meetings, points of interest, etc.  Please check here often as we will be providing updates to what is going on with RKHA.

In addition, for those of you on Facebook, we also have a group page (click here) that will mirror the events and other information provided here.  So look us up there too!

Thank you and enjoy the rest of the late days of Summer!

Regards,

Brian Cox
