COMMUNITY CELEBRATION EVENT AND DINNER
NEW EVENT TIME: 5:30-8:30 PM
Community connects us, supports us, and is essential to our well being. As we come together at Four Directions, we share the rich resources of wisdom and experience as we work with and learn from each other. It is also important to take time to share laughter, break bread, and celebrate. This year’s Community Dinner Event is an opportunity to celebrate the best of the future – highlighting performances by Kids in Concert with Max Dawes conducting, young Adult Poet, and Mak Fai Kung Fu Dragon & Lion Dance. Native storyteller, army veteran, and world class virtuoso violinist Swil Kanim will emcee this celebration that brings us together to enjoy traditional and contemporary music, dance, and performance art. Bring your drum, flute, or even your violin, and join in the experience if you’d like!

Peer and Counselor Recovery Ambassadors will be available to offer support and to walk with you – figuratively and literally. Need a friendly face – a supportive person to talk to or walk with while you attend sessions in the meeting space or travel between the hotel and event sites? Just let any ECPG staff member know, or look for the Recovery Ambassadors wearing special identification Buttons/Badges.
