Today kicks off our 6th Annual Juneteenth Weekend! ✨

Join us tonight at 6 PM in the Cadillac Room for our Healthy People Creating Healthy Communities Seminar & Mixer featuring six panelists and one keynote speaker focused on building stronger, healthier communities.

This is just the start of an incredible weekend full of culture, community, education, music, and connection in REO Town.

As Greg said, “You don’t want to be the one saying, ‘I wish I would’ve made it.’ You want to be the one saying, ‘I wish you would’ve made it.’”

Huge shoutout to our sponsor LAFCU, who had a huge hand putting this amazing weekend on!

We’ll see you there! ❤️🖤💚

Deadtime Stories Books & Gifts is looking for children’s book to give out at the festival next Saturday! ❤️❤️❤️

One of REO Town's busiest weekends, 517 Juneteenth Weekend, is coming up quickly (next Saturday) and I need your help! I'd love to be able to put out a table of free kids books during the festivities on Saturday- I've got some, but not enough. Do you have a stash of gently-loved kids books you've been meaning to drop off at the second-hand store? Wanna come drop 'em off to us before next Saturday instead? Looking for all grade levels and genres. 🖤📖 (Photo of the wonder twins for attention.)
