THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

Town halls are public meetings that are open to everyone. People are invited to ask questions, and say what they think about specific problems or policies.

Going to a town hall is a great way to let the community know in-person about the problems that matter to you. If you have questions that you want to ask about your community, a town hall is a good chance to get answers.

Our mission at 1st at First is to be a forum for citizens of Columbus, GA to learn, share and discuss in a healthy, nonpolitical and inclusive setting.
