💚 Event Update: Unmasked Space at Jefferson Park

Due to the significant storm damage at Jefferson Park following yesterday's tornado, we've made the decision to postpone our Teen and Young Adult Unmasked Space gatherings that were scheduled for next Friday, August 7.

Our thoughts are with everyone in the community who has been impacted by the storm, and we're incredibly grateful to those working to restore our parks and neighborhoods.

We'll announce a new date as soon as we're able. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing everyone soon. 💚
