Join us THIS SATURDAY for the 3rd annual Rock The Block! This is our youth-led community voter engagement party. There will be free food and performances! Don't miss out!

SoCe neighbors, just a quick reminder that the Ice Cream Social with The Lincoln Park Project is this Saturday from 11-1! We'd also love for folks to come out for the neighborhood walk and trash pickup beforehand! Click the post below for more details. See ya'll then!

Just a quick reminder that our Ice Cream Social is this Saturday from 11-1 at Lincoln Park!

As an optional activity beforehand, we’ll meet up at the park (1323 S Topeka St) at 10am for a neighborhood walk and trash pickup. Then, we’ll loop around and ensure we end up back at the park by 11am, where we can join in the ice cream social! What better way to reward ourselves for a little bit of work than with a sweet treat?

The social will feature ice cream, games, and a space for neighbors to connect. The Wichita Library Bus will be there - plus maybe even an appearance from a certain internet sensation. We’ll say no more, but this is an event you won’t want to miss! Trash bags and water will be provided, so just bring gloves and yourself to Lincoln Park at 10am, or simply come for the social at 11am, and we’ll look forward to seeing you there!

🍨👋🏼 Very excited for next Saturday!
