RAIN OR SHINE, our CiC Memorial Day BBQ was a huge success!

Even with the morning rain, the community still showed up, connected, laughed, ate great food, and spent the day together. We are so grateful to everyone who came out and helped make the day special.

Events like this are a reminder of what recovery community is really about, connection, support, friendship, and having fun together.

Thank you to everyone who helped organize, cook, set up, clean up, and most importantly, everyone who attended. We appreciate all of you!

We’re already looking forward to the next one!
