Hey Madison! As community builders and culture advocates, what better way to activate our values than to?nourish and strengthen our local Madison community through service? This October, Madison Culture First is partnering with SAIL (Sharing Active Independent Lives) , a local organization dedicated to empowering older adults throughout the Madison area. SAIL's nonprofit member program provides a vibrant community through learning, activity, socialization and support. ?? We will be offering fall yard clean-up services for a handful of SAIL members on October 4th, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM ?? SAIL members will need to sign up to participate in this event, so the more volunteers we can rally, the more SAIL members we will be able to serve! ?? You are welcome to bring a friend!! ?? Details and registration link in the comments.
