In our February Happenings newsletterr, Executive Director Jeff Lysyczyn says:
I’ll keep it real. January wasn’t necessarily the most stress-free month I’ve had. Are you feeling that way at all? It’s hard not to when each headline is more divisive than the last.
Among other things, Jeff goes on to say:
Share something hopeful today, whether you created it or you just love it. Post a song, photo, painting, poem, or any other work that might move someone else the way it moves you.
Read all his message plus catch up on our February mixer; a new writers mingle; a Black History Month exhibit; local literary, music, storytelling, theatre, and visual arts events; and more at this link. If you’re not receiving our emails, sign yourself up using this form.
