We're going to help gently bend you into better shape with Connecticut's Yoga In Our City movement, and let you know how you can tap into free virtual yoga classes to stay in shape and achieve peace of mind from the comfort of your home while gearing up for the 2021 season of outdoor community yoga classes designed by Civic Mind - and sponsored by ConnectiCare.

Then it's time for some really big news as we introduce the new executive director and get a sneak peek at what's in store for the 2021 International Festival of Arts & Ideas, which is ramping up its predominantly virtual festival May 14 - June 27, offering over 200 events — with 8 out of 10 available for free!

Thanks to this pandemic we've all been inducted into the world of doing everything virtually - even fundraising, so we're opening by introducing The Rowan Center - working hard since 1979 serving and supporting victims of domestic violence. We'll talk about the center's critical mission and how you can help by signing on to build a holiday gingerbread house virtually.

Then we'll turn to an epidemiologist with the CT Dept of Public Health to hear how the flu stands to complicate our already overburdened healthcare system in this COVID era - and how you can play a role in minimizing that pressure on our healthcare systems by getting a flu shot.

And we'll close inviting you to learn more about educational inequality and what you can do about it in your own community, by participating in an upcoming round table discussion sponsored by The Southport CoLAB and Literacy How.
