Want A Diverse, Inclusive Avon? Join The Conversation

AVON, CT — A local grassroots organization dedicated to equity and inclusion is looking for participants for a community conversation series aimed at addressing such issues in Avon.

Sponsored by Avon Friends for Equity, the program is called "Avon Aspires Community Dialogues."

The events are a free four-part series of facilitated conversations for community members who live, work, volunteer, attend school or belong to houses of worship or other Avon organizations.

Participants have two ways to participate and can engage in these discussions on Saturdays or Wednesdays, starting at the beginning of April.

The conversations will take place:

• Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon on April 1, April 15, April 22 and April 29.

• Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. on April 5, April 19, April 26 and May 3.

It is asked that participants attend all four dates of whichever series you choose.

"The dialogues provide what is missing in our community life – a process for meaningful, civil, respectful, face-to-face give-and-take between people from different backgrounds and views," reads a message from Avon Friends for Equity.

"The Avon-wide scope of this activity and the ways it links dialogue to change helps ensure that many Avon residents and community members will participate in this bold initiative."

No location has been finalized yet, but registrants will be notified of where the dialogues will take place.

To register, participants can scan the QR code on the attached flyer or visit the organization's website.
