Mohamed Sidibay ’21 still remembers the first time he took a hot shower. He remembers the first time he had a bed to himself.

Hello TEDxMaplewood community. I had the pleasure to organize TEDxMaplewood but I am moving out of state now.

I can’t bring myself to throw out the TEDxMaplewood sign we made but can’t find a home to store it. Would anyone be willing to take it on? It totals 20ft long but is divided into 3 sections (TEDx/Maple/Wood) and is approx 2ft high.

At the very least it could be used for many maplewood events without the TEDx section. Please help save the sign it will be a massive help for anyone organizing in future if this sign survives.

If anyone is interested in being part of a future TEDxMaplewood please contact me, the event is for everyone and anyone with the time and passion can help create the next event to grow and develop it, with our town and the current times.

It was an incredible experience.

Any help/ thoughts appreciated!
