Welcome to February and all that comes with it! While we are still working together to ensure everyone is safe and healthy, we can't wait to get back to large group activities, which resumed a few days ago! Like so many other times in the past years, we again came together and [...]
It's a new year and a new beginning for all of us. We had to do a little less in December than we usually do, and while we all wish things had been easier, it's times like these that remind us what community is. And especially who we are! As we look [...]
The end of the year is here! And what a year it has been. But before we say goodbye to 2022 and hello to 2023, we still have a lot in store for our community. And let's not forget all the fun we had in November! We can't even talk about November [...]
