Free massage: Sign up for a free massage between 2-7pm with Sue Mumsford of Cheyenne Wellness.

Voter Registration and Housing: Register to vote, take the original “Black” voter’s quiz, and talk to our in house attorney Jack Champagne about what’s on the ballot and what’s happening in housing legislation.

Affordable Connectivity Program: See if you qualify and sign up for free or low cost internet.

Youth Development: Sign your kids up for the Roots Summer Leadership Academy happening July 9 — July 28, 2023.  Spark a little joy with mask making, book giveaways, bubble machines, and trampolines.

Cultural Vibrancy: Play (or learn to play for the first time) Spades, Bid Whist, and Dominoes.

Workforce Development: Last but not least, visit all of our stations, stamp your “passport” and enter the drawing for a free laptop valued at $600. Drawings are at 3:30pm and 5:30pm.

We’ll see you there!
