📚 Public Education: Stoneham Health + Wellness Fair
This is an opportunity to table with the Public Education Team whether you're new to tabling or or an experienced volunteer.
Since 2010, the Stoneham Chamber of Commerce has hosted a Health & Wellness Fair to connect the community with local resources aimed at helping you move a little more, reduce stress, and improve your eating habits.
The Stoneham Alliance Against Violence, a group that raises awareness about domestic violence and supports survivors, is sharing their table with G4GVP to talk about secure firearm storage and extreme risk protection orders.

Once again, thank you to those of you who attended our annual strategy meeting and to those who have sent us input since then. We have been poring over your comments and suggestions, and we are ready to put your most requested ideas into ACTION!
Please join us at our next statewide meeting on Tuesday, April 7 from 7:00-8:00pm on Zoom. We'll briefly recap the strategy meeting and then deep-dive into our first three action priorities: Using Social Media to spread the word about our work; Educating our Volunteers about how to leverage their own networks through relational organizing; and Demystifying Tabling for those looking for ways to engage with their communities.
See you then!
