The OEA held its first ever fund raiser on 12-29, Kwanzaa Day 4, at the Grounds For Sculpture. It was an overwhelming success!

This month has been a choc full of productive and fruitful meetings, tabling events, and other networking opportunities that have allowed us to continue spreading the word of the OEA. Events we attended included the Rainbow Moon Festival and more.
