If your event is open to the public and you would like to add it to our newsletter, please email the event information by the 26th of the month to be included in the next month's newsletter. We welcome you to join our community.

Community is a place where the connections felt in the heart make themselves known in the bonds between people, and where the tugging and pulling of those bonds keep opening up our hearts.
