In the past 24 hours something really cool has happened in our town.

A- Matt Stafford, a dreamer, reached out and asked if we have cooling centers set up.
B- Chris Rogers - a coordinator, connected with church leaders to express the need and line up churches who could meet that need.
C- Cody Luck/Southern Star - provided a needed resource of bottled water, and
D - Elizabeth Fuller, a communicator, began work on informing the community

Each person did what they were gifted to do, and didn't worry or complain about the parts they couldn't. A BIG task was completed, because all the pieces fit together, and today we as a community get to help our neighbors who are in need of a safe place to get out of dangerous heat.

THIS is how we change a city.

Thank you, to all those who have helped, and specifically to those who have gone unseen or unnamed: you may be the silent partners, but your impact is not invisible. ❤️

What is it that YOU are good at that would be life-giving to you to have used for your community? What are the connections you need to get your piece added to the jigsaw puzzle of Lyons?

6 months ago, someone requested infant swings be put in at the parks. What I learned when asking staff about it, is that we frequently are without them because non-infants inappropriately use them and break them, causing them to be removed. I was also SHOCKED to learn the price tag of something so small as a child's swing and how hard it is to budget for that and other costly playground equipment.

Today the last of three new infant swings was installed, thanks to Parks Superintendent Matt Detmer SQUEEZING them out of his already tight budget. If you see a Parks employee today, tell them thank you!
