You’re invited to Civic Saturday in Fremont.
They write:

What makes a neighborhood livable and thriving for all? In this time
of extensive change, inequality, ambiguity, and a national loneliness
epidemic, the moment calls for creating and maintaining an active citizenry and deepening
connection, steeped in mutual understanding and values. We invite you to share in this
endeavor.

Join This Civic Saturday Gathering, Part I, on February 24th
