Community Calendar

 The Family Center/La Familia has had the honor to serve our community for over 30 years. We celebrate our impact with supporters and guests at our annual Fiesta Party fundraising event! This is a lively event filled with delicious Mexican food, margaritas, dancing, salsa lesson, auctioned prizes, and more dancing! Our venue host, The Lyric, is the perfect setting, offering ideal open event space. Come dance with us!

 This event is a way for our families, donors, board, and supporters to celebrate the impact we make in our community and the good work we do for our future: our youth.

Join African People & Wildlife (APW) for a special screening of "Sentinels of Engaruka," a new 30-minute nature documentary film exploring how Indigenous communities in northern Tanzania are working to live in balance with wildlife and manage habitat in one of the most rugged and beautiful landscapes on Earth.

Directed by Tanzanian filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer Hans Cosmas Ngoteya, the story invites reflection on the shared challenges of coexistence and corridor conservation—issues that resonate across Africa as well as the American West.

A Q&A will follow the film with both Hans and APW Co-founder/CEO Dr. Laly Lichtenfeld.

This public event is made possible thanks to partnership with the National Museum of Wildlife Art, whose mission is to impart knowledge and generate wonder through art and education.

Stop the presses! This Disney film turned Tony-winning Broadway hit inspires everyone to fight for what's right and seize the day. Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a band of teenaged "newsies." When titans of publishing raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions and fight for what's right!

Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act) and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein (Kinky Boots). Featuring the now classic songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” and “Santa Fe,” Newsies is packed with non-stop thrills and a timeless message, perfect for the whole family and every audience.
