March-April 2023 Report

 

Dear Friends, 
Many of you are aware of my postings on my Beam  portal, the purpose of which is to co-create "a healthy and inclusive community where opportunity and responsibility are broadly shared".

 

Here I'd like to share a list of upcoming  that I support with the hope that you will share with your network--in particular the  Veterans & Emergency Service Museum/Exhibits Open House & Ribbon-Cutting Event, Apr 20, 2023 05:00 PM. 

 

Also, I have included a list of noteworthy recent community events and some of their takeaways to tell the story of the collective effort to be a caring, compassionate community.
