Join the Black Heritage Library and Multicultural Center, 817 Harmon St., on March 3 from 7 to 9 pm for the Community Diversity Team Meeting.
The group meets on the first Sunday of each month to discuss the cultural diversity of Hancock County, working to strengthen inclusion and belonging.
“We are so grateful for everyone who shows up with their great ideas to help us promote hope, harmony and unity among different race, ethnic backgrounds and cultural heritage,” the group wrote on Facebook.
The group is looking for a larger volunteer base to share ideas, spread cultural awareness and help plan events for the multicultural center.
