Tuesday, April 2nd, we will be hosting a Community Conversation. Jessi from Fletcher Place Community Center will be sharing about the organization. The purpose of the evening is to learn more about local organizations making a difference in our communities. As a southeast neighborhood resident, I’m excited to hear about Fletcher Place Community Center and their goals for my community. Come by Tuesday evening at 7pm for a relaxed conversation. Refreshments will be provided.
