Here’s a look at the programming we have going on this month:
- On September 10th and September 24th at 1:00pm join our social worker, Syl, for Roundtable Conversations. In these social roundtables, he will lead you through light, thought-provoking conversations designed to spark reflection and build new friendships. Each session starts with a fun icebreaker, followed by a relaxed discussion around a broad topic relevant to our lives and experiences. Whether you’re a regular or new to the center, Roundtable Conversations is a space to engage, listen, and share with fellow community members you may not usually get to know. Everyone is welcome!
