1pm-3pm – Our friend, Grace Howard from Philly will be down to teach us about advocating for your health at the Gynecologist’s office, fertility, and STI’s. The first half will be sliding scale $5-$10, and if you have a cervix and want to stay to learn how to view it yourself, stick around for the second half for a total of $7-$13. THIS WILL BE A SAFE SPACE FOR THOSE WITH A CERVIX. Appropriate measures are being taken to insure privacy for those learning to view their own bodies. This will be at the Flying Brick Library.

Sportsbackers’ Monument Avenue 10k race is this Saturday.

Registration is closed and they have reached capacity.

Neighborhood residents should be ready for heavy traffic. Thankfully, Sportsbackers put this on their website:

We encourage participants to car pool to the race. Even better run or ride your bike to the starting line. Free parking is available on streets throughout the area. We strongly recommend going east of Belvidere to find on-street and surface-lot parking. To lessen your chances of getting stuck in traffic, please avoid the Belvidere exits off I-95 and I-195 and instead go further east and exit on 3rd Street, Broad Street or Franklin Street.
