CITY NEWS: The Ridgeway Board of Aldermen have rescheduled their May meeting to tomorrow evening (Thursday, May 14) at 7 pm in the Ridgeway Community Room. All Ridgeway residents are welcome to attend.
The City-Wide garage sales are on the calendar for June 26-27. If you are planning a sale and would like to be added to the list, please stop by the city hall office and fill out a sign up sheet or email ridgewaycba@gmail.com for a copy.

The Ridgeway Community Betterment Association is working hard to plan this year’s 4th of July to celebrate the 250th birthday of our nation. They need volunteers to help prepare, serve and clean-up this year’s post parade lunch. They are also asking for families or groups to sponsor an old-fashioned game in the park such as three-legged races, tug-of-war, horseshoes or similar games in the afternoon after the meal. For more information, please contact a board member or email ridgewaycba@gmail.com.
