June Southwood Seniors - Out to Lunch!

When: Wednesday, June 11, 12 - 1:30PM at Yankee Hill Village, 8401 S 33rd St
Program: Finding God in the Details by photographer Nia Karmann


Register by June 6 to receive a lunch for $10. Pay at the event with cash or check.

Nia’s opportunity to share her view of life and the amazing beauty and wonder God has given her is her passion. Views from a wheelchair are always unique and many times what she sees in a crowd is obstructed by the surrounding people. But, when the crowd clears, she uses her upbeat, creative attitude to capture the beautiful world around us. Come and enjoy Nia’s unique perspective - it’s guaranteed to enlighten you!
