Social Committee

Fox Valley has earned a reputation for being a close knit and caring community. A key to this has been an active social committee supported by many neighbors over the years. An example of a few activities are the Summer Family Party, Fall Chili Cook off, Spring Egg Hunt, Happy Hours and many other planned venues. There are also sub committees that are open to the neighborhood including the book club, new neighbor welcome and helping hands (refer to their entries in this section for more information). These events and groups do not happen on their own and appreciate the time and support of many of our neighbors in making these happen. The Social committee (including its sub committees) are always looking for volunteers! If you have any questions, please contact Jenna Beigel.

- Fox Valley neighborhood directory
