"Standing on the Shoulders of Our Ancestors; Preparing a Path for our Youth!" Established in 2001, TCOE is a collective made up of concerned elders from the Wichita African American community. About The African American Council of Elders ~ Wichita/Sedgwick County

Founded in 2001, the African American Council of Elders ~ Wichita/Sedgwick County is a collective made up of concerned elders from our community, who have come together for the express purpose of sharing what we’ve seen and learned to help our community grow stronger. We are here to instruct, and advise, to guide, to assist, and to correct when needed. We are involved with the youth of our community, and the schools, and with other existing organizations wherever and to whatever degree possible. We represent vintage leadership and a community resource – meeting with youth, presiding over community celebrations, mentoring current and future leaders, representing the community with public officials and so much more. We have decades worth of connections throughout the broader community and embody a tremendous network of resources. Collectively, we represent over 1,500 years of experience and knowledge.

It's flying spider season! 🕷

If you see spider webs floating through the air this time of year, it's called "spider ballooning." Baby spiders can fly great distances to new locations on long strands of silk, which get picked up by light winds.

Sleep tight!
