InterIm Community Development Association

"Where else can you gather in the warmth and glow of the fire pit, eating, drinking, laughing, swapping stories, under the stars, in the middle of the city, in the middle of the night? The pig roast connects us to Uncle Bob and those who came before us, and to each other here and now. Relishing the joy of it, the here and now of it, carries it forward." Read more about our 51st annual Pig Roast, why we all keep coming back for more, and how you can get involved (we need several more volunteers) here! https://mailchi.mp/interimicda/summer-highlights-growing-community-with-interim-cda-17298087

🎉 On June 3rd, our community celebrated the long-awaited reopening of Bush Garden in the retail space of Uncle Bob's Place!

InterIm CDA Co Executive Director, Leslie Morish*ta, joined Bush Garden owner, Karen Sakata, and Evan Chan of Edge Developers to cut the ribbon and welcome everyone into the new space. ✂️🎀

We celebrated with delicious food from Bush Garden's kitchen, taiko drumming, lion dancers, and, of course, karaoke! 🎤🎶

We know Uncle Bob would have been proud to see everyone celebrating and singing together in his favorite place. ❤️🏮✨
