The club would give local families another option for year-round swimming and indoor recreation.

🐾 Meet Reyna!

In Reyna’s house, all cuddles belong to Reyna. Try snuggling with somebody else and this spunky little pup will give you a side-eye that says, Excuse me. I’m right here. 👀

When she’s off cuddle patrol, Miss Reyna can be found climbing into places her family didn’t think a dog could fit, happily polishing off a pup cup, or claiming the warmest spot in the house for a nap. Her family jokes that she’s working with about two brain cells at any given moment, and both seem to know exactly when someone else is getting attention.

She’s sassy, snuggly, and pretty sure she runs the household. Her family wouldn’t have her any other way. 💕

Thanks for spending a few minutes with me this morning! I love seeing all the ways our community shows up for each other, from students collecting Christmas gifts to neighbors picking up an extra Thanksgiving side.

If you’re heading out for groceries today, maybe tuck one extra item into the cart for tonight’s turkey drive. Those little things add up. ❤️

Have a good Wednesday!
