The United Church of Garretson and Zion Lutheran Church are jointly hosting a mental health awareness event called A NEW NORM led by Tom Roberts. You might recall that this event was originally scheduled for last September but had to be called off because of illnesses.
This community event has been rescheduled for March 5th at the American Legion from 6:00pm-8:30pm. The United Church of Garretson, Zion Lutheran, and St. Rose of Lima Parish are hosting a mental health awareness event called A NEW NORM PROJECT led by Tom Roberts on March 5th from 6:30pm to 8pm at American Legion. Tom is an External Relations Coordinator at Children’s Home Foundations in South Dakota, author of many children’s books, and a gifted storyteller.
This is an interactive, fun, and educational program to promote mental wellness in children and youth, but ALL can benefit from this free event.
Aside from his work with Children’s Home Society, Roberts is a noted author of many children’s books, and a gifted storyteller. He’s also spent a lifetime in the Arts in South Dakota, working in the Artists in the Schools programs across the state and known for historical reenactments, as well as being a beloved stage actor for more than 40 years in productions all across the state and nation. This past holiday season marked the third year in a row he’s played Ebenezer Scrooge in the Sioux Falls Community Theater’s production of A Christmas Carol. The local churches want to express their gratitude to the Henry G. Fix American Legion Post #23 for lending the event space at no cost! There will be refreshments following the event provided by the churches.
