Nonprofit organization celebrates volunteer achievements and announces Tumbleweed Recreation Center reopening

During the recent Chandler City Council meeting held on May 8, 2025, community engagement and local initiatives took center stage, highlighting the city’s commitment to enhancing resident experiences and supporting nonprofit efforts.

One of the key discussions revolved around a recent event celebrating the achievements of a local nonprofit organization. This group, which operates entirely on volunteer efforts, has gained recognition for running a highly regarded thrift shop that funds various programs throughout the city. The council emphasized the importance of community support for such organizations, encouraging residents to visit the thrift shop located on Alma School Road north of Warner.

In addition to celebrating local nonprofits, the council announced an upcoming ribbon-cutting ceremony for the grand reopening of the Tumbleweed Recreation Center (TRC) on May 17, 2025. This event is anticipated to be a significant occasion for the community, featuring a ribbon-cutting ceremony followed by an open house filled with games, activities, refreshments, vendor booths, and giveaways. The TRC has undergone various enhancements, and the council expressed excitement about showcasing these improvements to the public.

These discussions reflect Chandler's ongoing efforts to foster community spirit and support local initiatives. The council's focus on celebrating nonprofit contributions and enhancing recreational facilities underscores the city's commitment to improving the quality of life for its residents. As the grand reopening of the TRC approaches, community members are encouraged to participate and engage with the city's offerings, reinforcing the importance of local involvement in shaping a vibrant community.
