🌟 Events Coordinator Opportunity and Welcoming Micaela to the Steering Committee 🌟
Happy New Year Shared Ground Community!
2022 was a full year… We signed the lease to our sweet space, onboarded three new steering committee members, launched and hosted events successfully, expanded in community, grieved heavily, celebrated gratefully, and continuously adjusted ourselves to the ever changing social, emotional, and environmental climate. Both individually and collectively, it’s safe to say: we did that! As we sway into 2023 with the confidence of an unbothered house cat, we’re excited to share some updates, events, and opportunities.
