In Our Community
 
Below is information about upcoming events taking place in the community that might be of interest to Penn's Village members.

From our friends at the Grandmother Collective: Host a Nonnas Watch Party in Your Community

 

The Grandmother CollectiveCoGenerate, and Generations United have partnered with 1Community to launch a nationwide watch party campaign for Nonnas, a new Netflix film premiering mother's day weekend, May 9. Inspired by a true story, Nonnas follows a man who channels his grief into building community by inviting grandmothers from around the world to cook, connect, and share their stories.

The partners have created a free watch party guide to help individuals and groups use the film as a spark for meaningful conversations—about aging, intergenerational connection, cultural traditions, and the invisible work of care and belonging.

Want to bring people together around this film? Watch the trailer, learn more, access the guide and signup and be put on the map at http://nonnas.1community.com
