June Events: Celebrate, Connect, Take Action

View this email as a webpage

Fellow District 7 Residents,

This newsletter highlights upcoming events, volunteer, employment and wellness opportunities in our Valley. My intention is to do my best to get you updated information on events happening monthly. All events are free to the community. And as a reminder, the City of Phoenix will be closed on June 19 in observation of Juneteenth. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the USA and the official liberation of enslaved people in Texas.
