Last night’s AYLA Member Docket Call was one for the books. Even with the storm rolling in, AYLA members still showed up strong.

We are grateful to everyone who braved the weather to connect, catch up, and support one another. The conversations, camaraderie, and community made it a great evening despite the rain.

A huge thank you to our sponsor, Munsch/Hardt, and to Hold Out Brewing for hosting us.

Looking forward to the next one already on June 18 at Mean Eyed Cat.

Yesterday, AYLA volunteers spent the evening giving back at Casa Marianella by painting a picnic bench to brighten the space for residents and learning more about the incredible services they provide to immigrants and refugees in our community.

Thank you to everyone who came out and volunteered! 💙
