Weaving NWA: Community Circle and Weaver Awards Information Session

Dinner & Community Circle :"Finding Hope in Your Community" (5:30- 7:00pm)

In a season when the world can feel heavy and uncertain, our community circle offers a warm and welcoming place to come together to reflect, share and connect. While we don’t ignore the challenges of these times, we choose to gather around the truth that hope is still alive—often closer than we realize. Through shared stories and active listening we discover how deeply we are supported by one another.

This circle is an invitation to notice the strength that grows when neighbors come together with openness and compassion. For weavers, hope shows up in everyday kindness, in mutual encouragement, and in the sense of belonging that reminds us we are not alone. Even amid difficulty, community becomes a source of light—steady, renewing, and full of possibility.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with other NWA weavers and deepen relationships with your community!

Weaver Awards Information Session (7:00- 7:30pm)

In every community, there are weavers – people who are quietly working with neighbors, solving problems, and weaving a strong, local social fabric. If we support and inspire more of them, we can heal our communities and ultimately our nation. That’s why we created the Weaver Awards and made it easy to bring them to your community.The Awards are $5000 microgrants that support neighbors, teachers, small nonprofits, and others working to create lasting connections and trust where they live as they tackle local issues.

Join us for a short presentation and Q+A on forthcoming Weaver Awards. To learn more, visit: https://weavers.org/awards
