Debriefing about 2-1-1 presentation...

If you would like to volunteer or know of a homeowner who would like a garden email

Instead of a regular meeting, we would like the faith community to come together for a night of art and music on May 25th and support the students at East!
We are also planning to start the night off with a dinner at 5pm (provided by Connected Communities) at East High School. This will give us a chance to chat a bit before the concert and learn more about East (we are hoping to get someone from East to join us for this part).
Are you planning to attend?
LOCATION East High School (exact room for dinner: TBD)
DATE AND TIME 05/25/175:00pm -
05/25/178:00pm
If you also have folks from your congregation that would like to attend, please email info@connectedcommunitiesroc.org by May 15th.
Please RSVP by May 15th so that we can reserve seating at the concert and plan for how much food we need! (Please don't forget to also let us know if you are bringing guests from your congregation!)
Thank you!
