2026 Community Gathering
We were excited to host our annual Community Gathering this year - an evening of connection and conversation featuring Ada Limón, award-winning author and the 24th Poet Laureate of the United States. Through her poetry and reflections, Limón reminded us how storytelling and shared language can inspire hope, resilience, and care for one another and the place we call home.
