September 2018 Community Events
September 2018 is upon us! We look forward each month to sharing some of our favorite upcoming events. We love being a part of the Livonia Community and it is wonderful that they offer so many activities for our families. Fall is nearly upon us and my kids are almost back to school. It is important to enjoy our community and find something out and about town to enjoy!
