Thanks for a Great Decade–We Will Miss You!
After 10 years, the Community Imagination Studio and parent organization, YouCAN! will be closing its doors on May 31, 2009. The tenth and final year of funding is coming to an end, and the Board of Directors has not been able to secure replacement funds due to the state of the economy. After ten years, and serving over 100,000 people, the closing of this organization will be a loss for Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas.
But the staff of the Community Imagination Studio invites EVERYONE to come
celebrate with us a few more times before we leave!
Saturday, May 2–from 10 am to 4 pm–the FINAL Family Day!!
Come celebrate spring and say goodbye. We will have lots of fun family-inspired activities–SO COME GET MESSY WITH US ONCE MORE!
