Youngtimers Community Gathering with Dr. McDade

Come brush off the winter cobwebs and join us for a unique community gathering. No agenda, just catching up!

About this event

We will be joined by Dr. Eric McDade at our Sunday afternoon gathering. Come spend time with our unique community.

This is not your average workshop or support group, we are simply coming together as ONE.

For this special event, you are invited to share your anxieties about funding cuts, space to process what’s going on for you, or just be in great company. Whatever it is, we got you!

We hope you can make!
