This Past Summer
|
This summer we spent a lot of time working with the Native American Indian Center of Central Ohio. We volunteered in their Fresh Produce Days helping give out food to the community. We are looking forward to continuing to volunteer with them this upcoming year. We also helped with the Gathering of Native Americans that was organized by NAICCO and held in Lancaster, Ohio. The GONA was made available through Indian Health Services. We were able to come together and grow has a community. I hope that we can continue this relationship with NAICCO throughout this year. |
Line Dancing |
We will be continuing with our line dancing nights this year on the 3rd Wednesday of every month beginning in September. Gerald Morton will continue to be our amazing instructor. Make sure to mark your calendars and tell your friends!
