Community Mosaic Project at the Library
In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, join us in creating a large-scale community mosaic made up of individual messages of hope, support, and connection. It starts with one. One kind word. One moment of understanding. One person showing up for another. Drop in anytime 3-5 p.m. to write your message, decorate your tile, and add it to the mosaic. Be part of something meaningful. Hosted by: New Canaan Moms, The MindWell Center and New Canaan Library
