Sweet & Salty Circle
Are you double-stuffed compassion, sandwiched with advocacy and dipped in cheddar flair?
Maybe you’re caramel charisma with a side of salty sass?
Or sweet, crunchy, bold, and beautifully unique?
Any combination is welcome!
Join us this Fall session of Sweet & Salty Circle, where we’ll dive into cookies, candy, chips, and conversation, all through the lens of living
with disability.
Sweet & Salty Circle is a fun and fantastic opportunity to sample new treats and socialize with your peers. Each month, we’ll alternate between sweet and salty snacks to use as our conversation piece. Along the way, we’ll explore seasonal flavors, and we’ll get to reflect on our own personal “flavor profiles” as individuals.

Selected Fridays 11AM-Noon Virtually on Zoom
Upcoming sessions:

Sep. 5 – Salty
Oct. 24 – Sweet
Nov. 21 – Salty
Dec. 19 – Sweet

Registration required.
