We had such a fun time at last weekend's DIY Day at Eurma C. Hayes Community Center!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out! Whether you made bracelets or zines, screen-printed, learned a new instrument, or just enjoyed some food and music you helped build community!

Shout out to all of our volunteers and performers for all of your hard work, we couldn't do it without you!
