CALENDAR 2013

Unfortunately, we will not be able to publish a hard copy, print version this year. Due to low sponsorship, many families being displaced and time not working on our side we will be unable to get this project together. We however, will be updating the online calendar as we have done in the past. Therefore, we are asking all organizations to continue to send in their events, meetings and any other "happenings" they wish to have posted. We also would like our news section to be more informative this year so anyone with information/stories before or after they happen please feel free to send them in. All of this information can be sent to insideinwood@gmail.com For our friends and neighbors still working through the recovery process we wish you the best and hope you get home or your home back soon!
