3 Events That Give Back To The Carbondale Community This Fall
In my life I like to mix fun with service. My belief is that my kiddos are watching me and if I want them to grow up to be involved in their community, then I have to lead by example! I genuinely enjoy meeting like-minded and kind people at these events. These are a great way to be social, benefit our much needed organizations and enjoy yourself. Below are a few local events that directly benefit organizations doing wonderful work for the Carbondale community. If you have a suggestion for an event to include in my blog please email me at creesahidah@gmail.com
