THIS WEEK: 

Bob's Birthday Fundraiser

A note from our Development Director, Bob Fulkerson: Originally, my 60th was going to be a ripper, with dancing and singing around the fire. I really wanted you to be there to thank you for helping me make it to this day. But that ain't happening so we're gonna make the best of it on ZOOM!
 
Having a life of meaning has been a great gift. You, my family and friends, have made it so. I would be honored if you could join me and Rebecca Solnit, one of the great essayists and activists of our time, and songwriter/organizer Si Kahn, to celebrate our time together. Join us on Wednesday, May 27th at 5pm. To RSVP please bfulkerson@planevada.

Friday Community Wellness Chat 

We couldn’t let May end without celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, so for this week’s Wellness Webchat we are celebrating Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) foods, languages, and culture. We invite you to join us for Mukbang, which is an internet trend of watching a live stream of someone eating copious amounts of food. Bring your dinner and eat on camera with us as we learn about love in APIA languages. Join us on May 29th from 5pm-6pm. Register to join us at bit.ly/PLANwellness.
