Yet another senseless act of gun violence
When met with the brutality that we are witnessing in our world, in our own neighborhoods, grocery stores, and elementary classrooms, it is hard to know what to say or what to do.
We must honor the lives lost. We must grieve. Question. Be angry.
But we can't allow ourselves to become numb. Or give in to the darkness. Or let it swallow our ability to reach out to another.
We must take action.
2022 Staff Retreat
What a special day for UWABC! This incredible team has been through a lot over the past several years, and finally being able to come together to connect with each other on a deeper level felt really good. Thank you to all who came out to celebrate our team and accomplishments, and for recognizing just how essential and vital each member of this team really is. If you couldn't make it, please know that you were in both our hearts and minds.
Celebrating Tocqueville Society's Centennial Impact
If you've never been to Little Jumbo on Broadway, you should be sure to make a stop. And thanks to the generosity of co-owner, Chall Grey and manager, Elaina, we couldn't have had a better venue to celebrate the impact that this small but mighty group of donors have had during this, our Centennial year.
Amy Hanks, the Centennial co-chair shared with the crowd their collective impact
