6th Annual Community Connection Poetry and Prose Competition Planned

Although the 6th Annual Awards Night isn’t until April 21, the competition already has begun as high school student poets are inspired by this year’s topic, Justice. It’s not too late to volunteer to help with this very special Tenth Dems project.

One Supreme Reason to Vote in November
