A note regarding youth activities:

We will have food and beverage available on the upcoming Wednesday evenings. I have decided to stop creating the RSVP forms for now but do welcome replies via email to help me know who to expect. I’d love to reconnect with you all soon and continue to offer a greater variety of opportunities to get together. If anyone would like to propose additional time for connection and / or another type of activity, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I appreciate collaboration and am happy to do what I can to help make what you’re hoping for happen!
