Happy Monday!

Thank you to all those who made the Arts and Heritage Festival another great one! We’ll have some fun post to share soon!

The Center will be closed until 12:30pm today due to off site trainings. We apologize for any inconveniences but we are lucky to have access to such information to keep building our center and community to be stronger and better everyday!

See you later!

No parking in the lot today! 📢

The excitement is building for the Arts and Heritage Festival this weekend. We will need to set up the tent today so parking will be a little tough.

We will see you all soon! Thank you!
