What’s it like to be a school nurse? A tour guide? A farmer? A firefighter? A plumber? A community volunteer?
Over the last few years, we have come to appreciate what each of us does on a daily basis in a new way, but what are each other’s days really like? At these casual gatherings, three local residents will have 10 or 15 minutes to describe what occupies their days, followed by questions from the audience. Refreshments will be served.
