June went by so quickly, but we LOVED seeing everything from Pride Month. Thank you to our community partners for hosting, YOU for attending and for everyone who helped make it happen. With almost a dozen events reaching over 400 people, we kept BUSY!

AWARE, Building a Safer Evansville, and the Evansville Community School District are partnering with Robin St. Claire and Dierdre Beltran in a School Supply Drive to assist families in obtaining school supplies for the upcoming year.

Dierdre and Robin will be at the corner of First and Main Streets (Shannon Law Office) on August 5th and 6th during City Wide Garage Sales from 7 am until noon.
