Additional details
Next month, we’re passing the mic to you, our wonderful community!
Our theme is CREATE, and we’re opening up the stage for 8 community members to share what that means to them. Music, spoken word, storytelling, show and tell, something a little weird, something deeply personal- we’re into all of it. You’ll have 5 minutes and a room full of supportive, kind people who can’t wait to listen.
Want a spot? Submit your idea by 4/30 & you’ll be notified by 5/4 either way!
☕️ Coffee is FREE and will be provided by RecRoom!
🍩 🍪 Breakfast is also FREE and will be provided by Burgers Donuts Potatoes!
🕰️ Doors open at 8:30 & the speakers will take the stage around 9.
