March brings all the things. Springtime. Basketball. Daylight savings. St. Patrick’s Day. Spring break. In some ways, it feels like the small steps out of winter hibernation to all things anew; a refresh if you will.
With that, our calendar takes a refresh for March opportunities to connect including two of our newly formed groups in St. Joseph, MO and Little Rock, AR. We’d love to have you as part of a group either online or in person.
As always, if a support group is happening in your area, you should receive an email with specific details. Not getting our emails, be sure to send a note to info@mgakc.org to make sure your details are current. All times shown are in central time.
