Looking good – my only real issue is with the navigation. Since you’re using the same shades of green for both the main and sub-navigation, but changing the meaning, it’s not immediately clear what you’re looking at, or that the sub-nav is the sub-nav.

I’d either lose the dark green highlight on the second level nav, or like Pat said, give the nav bar more padding so the second level nav highlight doesn’t touch the top.

You can also increase the spacing in your copy area – increase the line-height a bit. It’ll keep your copy from looking cramped.

Finally, I’d lose the faint background you’ve got in the content area. Could just be the brightness on this monitor but I can’t really make out what it is – kinda looks like a coffee ring from a mug. Either way it doesn’t really add anything so you’re probably better off without it since it’ll just distract users from the content.

I really like the social media badges in the top nav; I wouldn’t worry too much about the one under the banner if that’s what you were talking about.

The only thing that comes to mind is I’m not sure about the grey. It seems out of place with the rest of the colour scheme.

few quick things:

1) bit more padding height-wise on the nav. Give the text a bit more breathing space, and the user more area to click.

2) separate the “news and events” section. Could be hard to see events if news items keep pushing them out of the window, and vice versa.

3) imagery is good. maybe try putting some actual photographs somewhere? emphasis the sense of community.

otherwise, looks sharp!

I would suggest adding additional line-height to the main copy. I’m not sure I like the secondary menu highlighting with the same colour as the primary. I’d probably use another colour for that hover state. Otherwise the header looks sharp and the colour scheme works. Good work.
