Kula For Kids - Can You Undo Water Pollution?
They tried, but Miss Michelle and the Kula Kids made their water so dirty, it just couldn't be cleaned anymore. They learned a lot about how to protect our water. We'll be back with more Kula For Kids classes in the fall.

Cannabis Industry Workshops |
We hosted another super informative workshop on the cannabis industry, this time we had a focus on tinctures. Several participants as well as the presenter are applying for licenses or have related business ideas. Next time we'll focus on Edibles and will have Patricia A Patton from the Cannabis Business Alliance as well as Wesley McWhite III, Director of Diversity and Inclusion from the NJ Cannabis Regulatory Commission partake in the discussion afterwards.
Thursday July 7, 7:00-8:00pm
