Get out and connect with your community at these upcoming free events
June 10th: Free Spaghetti Dinner
In 2026, the U.S. will mark its 250th anniversary. As we approach this historic milestone, a lot is changing at the local, state, and national levels, and it seems like the right time to connect as a community and discuss our vision for the country. Through a facilitated discussion, you’ll collaborate with fellow community members to begin placing new building blocks for a democracy that truly works for all of us.
Join us for a free spaghetti dinner and conversation on June 10, from 6–8 PM at 1890 E. Main St. We will eat, connect, and envision what the next 250 years of this country could look like starting right here in our community.
Seats are limited, so please RSVP. Feel free to pass this along to friends, neighbors, and anyone who wants to be part of the conversation.
Find Kwesi at Dad’s Matter Day this Saturday, June 7 at Franklin Park (1777 E. Broad St.) hosted by the African American Male Wellness Agency and Urban Family Development Center.
