Sometimes a little change makes a big difference. When your neighborhood needs a small project, consider applying for a Neighborhood Project Matching Grant. The Neighborhood Project Matching Grant Program provides matching grants, of up to $3,000, to neighborhoods interested in building strong relationships around a community-driven project that supports the City’s strategic focus areas of Sustainability, Community Pride, or Public Health & Safety. |

THUNDERSTRUCK
America's AC/DC Tribute
Fri 4/22, 8pm
|
|
TONE LOC & TAG TEAM
featuring Chris Craze
Wed 4/27, 7:30pm
|
|
Thunderstruck: America's AC/DC gives fans so much more than the sound of AC/DC, they truly capture the high voltage energy and experience! For fans, it's about a sense of familiarity, and it's about a feeling that snatches up listeners and takes over. |
|
Who remembers Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" or Tag Team's "Whoomp! (There It Is)"!? Now's your chance to see them live in Largo under one roof! Dust off that Pelle Pelle gear and grab your Funky Cold Medina for a great night! Arrive early and check out the graffiti show in the lobby |

There is a critical need for Summer Camp Leaders aged 18 and up to help provide a fun and safe summer for children in our community. New hires who complete the entire 10 weeks of summer with us are eligible to receive up to $300 in incentives.
