McCall Idaho e-newsletter of Art, Film, Theatre, Writing and MUSIC TOO?

In light of current issues that impact us now in McCall and throughout the world, now is a good time to take action and do all that is possible to help ourselves and our community survive the stresses and difficulties.  Strengthening our friendships, engagement with each other and the outdoors, taking a moment to learn something new, involvement in community issues, visiting the library, walking along the lake or in our neighborhoods and mountains, participating in local events, are just some of the many productive and soothing things we can DO to help ourselves and the community.  Many community events are FREE or low-cost, and below are a number of possibilities to consider!

 

PLEASE, let's support our local community by participating in what is offered.  Let's buy "local" when merchants make an effort to reach out for our business and when it makes sense!

 (The McCall regional area has many events, learning opportunities, organizations and venues for the arts, music, theatre and the like, so if your event (and therefore your organization or business' web link) are not listed, it isn't intentional, just send along the info and it will be included.)
