SUMMARY:Circle of Care
DESCRIPTION:We are absolutely crushing it in all the ways we are resisting; protests\, phone calls\, postcards\, letters\, donations\, supporting activists and political groups in the area.\n\nAnd we need to take care of ourselves\, too!  Join us for Circles of Care\, “Get out the Scream”. Not a political action event\, not a social event\, but a group for those of us doing everything we can to save our country but don’t know where to necessarily put our feelings.\n\nShare with anyone who is sharing some of the same challenges you are. Bring a friend(s).\n\nWe hope you will join us again for this event with like-minded people. We need to reach out to one another in empathy and support for what we are all experiencing to make sure that we feel strong enough to keep up the fight! The next meeting will be:\n\nTuesday\, June 3rd\, 7p-8:30p\nUnited Methodist Church of Geneva\n211 Hamilton Street Geneva\, Illinois.\n\nPlease arrive 15 minutes early to sign in.\nRSVP\nJody at  jmek05@hotmail.com or\nBill at Bill.tarver86@gmail.com
