🙌 THANK YOU🙌 We so appreciate everyone that came to our event last Friday at OSU-Cascades! We packed the house with 175 attendees and ended up with a waiting list. Thank you Cynthia Engel, Damon, Christine, Rachel and the rest of the OSU Team for making it happen. From the bottom of our hearts, we really appreciate all our friends, family members and Central Oregon family for coming out to listen and share stories of openness, kindness and building community across borders. It was a really positive and joyful event! We underestimated how much room we would need and know many of you couldn't get in (we also had some technical difficulties with OSU's website) and encourage you to sign up EARLY for our next and final event, March 26th at 6:30pm at Roundabout Books 👍📕 Hope to see you there!
*thank you Michael Phillips for the photos 📸
