[Antiracism] upcoming Y.O.C. networking event 12/8

[oogda Event]

Dear Community Members,


We would like to invite you to an event YLA (Youth Leadership in the Arts) 
is hosting. This is a monthly opportunity for youth of color and our allies 
to
network with each other about our experiences and work. We would like for
you to share what you and your group represents and does in your community.
We're planning a lot of different activities, such as an open-mic, dance,
games to get to know each other and our work, and building connections.

This first event is to kick off a rotating monthly event that will be hosted
by youth programs and organizations to build a supportive youth network
between places like Northampton, Springfield, Holyoke, and Greenfield and
more! Maybe you'll want to host the next one!

We hope you can come together with us in Northampton for the first event!

ON DECEMBER 8TH, 2005
6:30 to 9PM
CENTER FOR THE ARTS in NORTHAMPTON
