Events Newsletter
Greetings!
This newsletter shares many upcoming events for Plainfield residents to enjoy! Over the past year most of these events were virtual so we could safely distance in our homes. As the vaccine program expands and we begin to safely co-mingle in person, we will continue to apprise you of events taking place locally and elsewhere.
We look forward to a full return to normalcy in the near future but until then please enjoy some of the events outlined in this week's issue.
