Breaking North Phoenix News!

From The Desk Of The North Phoenix Mayor (me)

Let’s get right into it—because this week’s newsletter is stacked. We’re beyond excited to announce our 2026 Valleypalooza Charity Partner…

(A community favorite doing incredible work—we’re thrilled to support them next year!)

I had the privilege of interviewing Jennifer, the founder of Joy Bus, a few years ago. The work her organization does is beyond inspiring, and we’re proud to welcome them as our official Charity Partner for Valleypalooza 2026.

Here’s what else you’ll find inside this week’s newsletter:

• A powerful message from the Vice Mayor on surviving summer in Phoenix

• This week’s top community post in the LNP Facebook Group

• Deals shared by local businesses (nope, they didn’t pay for these—just giving back to LNP!)

• Smart summer tips from trusted local pros: Rapid Rooter Plumbing, Birk Family Dentistry, and On-Target Floor Care

And yes—Valleypalooza Splash Edition is coming 7/26, so save the date now. I’ll be announcing something big on Thursday that you don’t want to miss.

A Message From Vice Mayor O’Brien

It’s that time of year when we brace ourselves for months of triple digit temperatures. If you’re looking for outdoor activities, I hope you’ll consider Phoenix public pools. Deer Valley and Paradise Valley pools offer swimming lessons, aqua fit classes, and water slides.

I know that summer can sometimes send us into hibernation mode, staying indoors with air conditioning, but Phoenix pools are a great way to cool off, stay in shape, and spend quality time with family and friends. You can check your pool’s hours or sign up for swimming lessons or classes at www.phoenix.gov/pools

Quick Tip From Kristen at On-Target Floor Care

Unlike many companies, we never upcharge for stain removal, pet hair extraction, or deodorizer. It’s all part of our service because a “clean” without those extras just isn’t clean. It makes all the difference when you have a reliable expert in your corner.

Hot Post Of The Week

Quick Home Tip From Rapid Rooter Plumbing

This month’s important plumbing tip brought to you from Chad and Jessica Librizzi at Rapid Rooter Plumbing.

Know where your main shut-off valve is located. It can save you thousands in damage during a plumbing emergency. If a pipe bursts, shutting off the water quickly can minimize flooding and protect your home.

Quick Dental Tip From Birk Family Dentistry

Don’t wait for pain to visit the dentist. Catching small cavities early can often prevent fillings, root canals, or implants later. Prevention saves both teeth and money. The ADA recommends 2–4 cleanings per year, depending on your gum health.
