Upcoming Connections Party

We've been planning a Connections Party the past several weeks to provide a context and an opportunity to bring together many of the connections we've been making in the community over the past several months. The goal is to facilitate introductions between folks and to allow people to share about their own organization or business or event that's coming up.

We'll learn about volunteer opportunities, hear from community groups, enjoy live music by "Wings for the Queen", grub on some Mexican tacos, and win prizes donated by community businesses!
