- Ongoing Community Event: HISTORICAL SOCIETY ART SALE
Online catalogue: https://www.jacksonhistory.org/artshow.html. - Ongoing: WALK a MILE in SOMEONE’S SHOES
JCC encourages everyone to move and connect with sunlight and creation. Aim for 3 times per week (although daily is even better). Get outside. Walk a mile if you’re able. Try a new trail. Share your findings. Take a social-distance buddy with you! Walk inside your walls or around your own yard, if that’s safest! Share with us where you’ve found renewal by taking a walk, now that so many trailheads are closed. Rev Gail will post her walks on facebook. Share yours, too!
