Neighbors: An Evening of Storytelling Supporting the AB United Way

  • AB United Way (Virtual) 525 Masssachusetts Avenue #203 West Acton, MA 01720 (map)

What does it mean to be home?

We invite you to listen to true stories, told live, as we discover the values we all share as neighbors and celebrate our diversity. Hearing a true story live, even on Zoom, is as entertaining as it is uplifting.

Join us on Friday, March 4th as regional storytelling champions and first-time storytellers from our community share stories about "Home". Enjoy an evening of entertainment, inspiration, and appreciation as we reflect on the importance of "home".
