Dear Wee Friends Families,

I am very unhappy to report that AEP is estimating that it will be Thursday before our power is restored at Wee Friends.  I will keep everyone posted as I continue to call AEP each day to see if that changes any sooner.

I’m sure you have all heard in the news that Riverpark was very badly hit by the storm.  I am following the damage on our Riverpark Neighborhood Association Facebook page and the pictures are astounding. Just in our section of the 700-800 blocks (Jefferson to Wall), we had a line of winds that took down many large trees and the power lines with them.  So AEP is not just working on one issue, but I know of 3 separate power lines down within just a few block of us.  And there are more lines are down throughout the area.  There was a house on 23^rd completely destroyed by the storm.  The pics are all from our neighborhood.

As a reminder for those with YMCA swimmers, Tuesday swim starts at 10:00 for those who can transport their own children to the class.  The YMCA class will not reimburse you for a missed class.  The Blue Bus was canceled today and Jennifer, will however, tack the class onto the end of the session so that you are not paying for a missed class.

Once again, I am so sorry for the inconvenience of this situation.  Thankfully, this is the first time we’ve ever experienced an extended closing due to weather related issues and we are blessed with just losing power and clearing debris.

Tami
