See old friends. Make new ones!

Celebrate our community and achievements.

Renew your spirits for the work ahead!

Our Annual Meeting brings together the JPNDC “family” — members, residents, donors, participants, volunteers — to break bread, elect our board, and honor some special people and organizations with our Community Building Awards!

And, of course, door prizes! Child care will be available.
