ON BEHALF of Central Plains Outreach & Service Committee, Rhonda invites our small groups (and other interested persons) to a series of webinars on racism hosted by Drick Boyd, Professor of Social Transformation at Eastern University in Pennsylvania. We will meet in the fellowship hall and the three-part series will be held at 7:30 pm on successive Tuesdays (2/11, 2/18, and 2/25). Each session will consist of a 45-minute presentation and some time for discussion and questions.
DAVE’S SHOP will be warm for shop hours Thursdays, beginning 1/30 from 3-8. Please be thinking of projects you would like to build for yourself or the MCC sale, or just stop by to chat.
