Information meeting for interested groups set for Wed., Oct. 28
Columbia 50th Birthday Celebration Board of Directors is holding an information meeting on Wed., Oct. 28, from 8-9:30 a.m., at Slayton House in Wilde Lake. The meeting is open to representatives of organizations interested in exploring opportunities to participate in events and activities from March 20-Sept. 22, 2017, during the 6-month celebration of Columbia’s 50th birthday.
Columbia’s official birthday is June 21, and it will be marked by a party and signature events on the weekend that follows. Celebration events, however, will also include three months of pre-birthday events focused on “Appreciate the Past” and three months of post-birthday events focused on “Imagine the Future.” It is expected that artistic programs, cultural and sporting events and social activities will be featured.
The Columbia 5oth Birthday Celebration is a non-profit organization created to coordinate a program of events that honors the bold past, embraces the present and advances the ideals of a progressive, vibrant and inclusive community.
The information meeting will include a presentation and question and answer period. Register at http://columbia50thpreview.eventbrite.com
