Hello Highwire Community!
We’re continuing to iterate on our community update process! This month, we’re doing a brief update, along with a survey for community feedback about our upcoming class offerings!
In-Person Community Meeting Next Month!
Next month (and likely once per quarter) we will have an extended community meeting covering a retrospective on the past few months and details about our ongoing 2023 strategy, plans, and volunteer opportunities. This will also be livestreamed online.
This will be at the Co-Balt Workspace at 1014 West 36th Street, Baltimore, MD 21211, from 5-7pm. The Zoom info for anyone joining remotely is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84773020234?pwd=OFdENVVjVi85T3JBOEk4UTd0WTZqdz09
