Wash Park Home Tour - Saturday, May 10
The Wash Park Home Tour is shaping up to be another fantastic event, but we could still use a little help! We’re on the lookout for new sponsors to support this year’s tour and give some of our longtime sponsors a well-earned breather. If you know a business or individual who might be interested, please pass the word along—we’d be so grateful!
Want to get more involved or just hear what’s in store for this year? Join us for our meetings every first and third Friday of each month at 10 AM at the Starbucks by Steele Elementary. It’s the perfect chance to sip some coffee, meet great people, and chat about this amazing community event.
We’d love to have your additional involvement, whether as a sponsor, volunteer, or friendly supporter. Thanks for helping make the Wash Park Home Tour a success!
Cheers,
Your Wash Park Home Tour 2025 Team

We are lucky to have Associate Professor of Psychology at DU Jenalee Doom, PhD, join us for the discussion on themes like cell phones, social media, video games, and their effect on childhood development. Dr. Doom brings her focus on stress in children's development to the meeting.
We will have the book available for purchase in the office soon. To prepare, check out some of these podcasts and articles around the theme:
