Gather

06/01/2020

The core of our mission at Gather is to bring young families together to connect, learn, create, and play together. Before we were ever asked to distance ourselves to slow the spread of disease, societally we were already distanced though invisible barriers that may not show up on maps, but systematically were upheld and persist.

We miss bringing children and families together, but know that we need to keep building and proactively driving connection no matter the barriers that stand in the way. All families have a right to safety and security and yet our Black neighbors often lack those fundamental rights. We stand with you, we love you, enough is enough - we must change now!

We had a great class planned this morning but zoom had other ideas. Keefer shared a song to bring a little sunshine to your Sunday.

We miss playing together with you! Join us online. No it’s not the same, but it is fun and feels familiar and both those things mean a lot these days, especially for our little ones.

Dear Gather Family,

10 more classes to finish out your week! Go now and register for a few: https://www.care.com/connect/gather/?category=online

And now some messages from our sponsors...

Hello, I'm a roller skating unicorn - I have one request, be happy!
..and for those feeling nervous with each passing roll of toilet paper, remember, art is everywhere. Shape your perspective and keep creating!

Lastly, from the team at Gather - please keep attending and sharing to support our teachers and to allow us to keep Gather offerings. If each of you shared this or tagged just 3 people you know with young children, we would reach as many as 15,000 new families today and grow from there.

Thank you and have a great Friday and weekend,

The Gatherers
