Mark Your Calendars!
Central Missouri Community Action will host the kick-off meeting for the Ride Out Poverty event on March 2nd at 6p.
This first meeting will be held at Denny's in Columbia, Missouri. We hope to host dinner meetings to build camaraderie and to have fun as we start thinking about the best way to host our Second Annual Ride Out Poverty event.
This is a great way to eat food, have fun, AND volunteer, all at the same time!
This meeting will be held every two weeks, so if you can't make it to the first meeting, look for updates on the location of the next meeting.
We can't wait to have you involved!
