From the Editor
If you went to your mailbox around the first of May to get your copy of Cloverdale Connect and did not find it there, it is absolutely my fault. The files were late getting to the printer which delayed printing and delivery. However, here’s my excuse! I was on a wonderful trip down the California Coast with more than 40 women on the 2nd Annual Girls Cruise. We all had such a great time that we have set the date for the 2027 Cruise next April. Good news – it will be earlier in the month and should not cause a delay in delivering the May 2027 issue of Cloverdale Connect on time!
May marks the beginning of Friday Night Live and the promise of summer nights. Our Event Calendar this month is extensive, with so many things happening – arts, music, theater, information, sports, music, and even a luau. Cut the calendar out and stick it on the fridge because you don’t want to miss anything.
Enjoy all our area has to offer and I’ll see you around town!
