The Assumption Community Pride organization is off to a busy start for its summer.  Events and fundraisers are giving them plenty to focus on, as is the opening of the new child care center in town.  Nonetheless, the organization looks to use these happenings and other developments to boost the community’s standing and attract new residents and businesses. 

Assumption Community Pride is involved in the town’s Fourth of July fireworks show, happening at 9 p.m. on Friday.  President Derek Page says a bingo event happening shortly before the show will raise money for the St. Jude Runners.

The bingo cards cost a dollar each, and the proceeds as part of the Runners’ long journey eventually reach St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Assumption Community Pride played a key role in the opening of the town’s new child care center.  They partnered with the Assumption First United Methodist Church and Kemmerer Village to make it happen.  Page says this new location will go a long way to addressing a major need in the area. 

Assumption is also rolling out the new Baxmeyer Subdivision.  Page says these 16 new lots of land will entice people to move to the area.

The lots can be seen on Realtor.com.  More information on Assumption Community Pride is available at their Facebook page.
