Between all these great events, we’re also finding ways to give back to our community. Keep an eye out for volunteer opportunities that count toward the civic requirements for your FACHE. We’re close to finalizing a food bank activity and are exploring other meaningful initiatives, such as a Habitat Build. If you have any worthy causes or ideas, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Until I see you at our next event!
