Subject: eBuzz - January 11, 2023 Spotlight on MLK Day Celebrations

January 11 - 17, 2023

JANUARY: NEW YEAR/NEW PERSPECTIVE!


“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” — Martin Luther King Jr.


This week's quote and "Spotlight" events are both in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. As we begin 2023 with fresh perspective, we hope you will join us in seeking new inspiration, new ideas, and new opportunities to connect and create.


Cheers to expanding our beautiful arts and culture network in 2023 and beyond.

Cheers to a healthy, thriving Coastal Fairfield County!
