2nd Wednesday Lecture: Cultivation and Community in Chicago
December 12, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
We welcome you to collaborate with us in bringing your cultural gifts to your community.
This lecture and discussion will present two women’s cultural identities and how this informs their greening efforts throughout the Chicago communities in which they operate. You will have the space to discover for yourselves what cultural gifts you have and how you can give back to your community – especially during the holiday season and for the New Year to come. There will be opportunities to share and network throughout the discussion.
