From attending fundraisers, to donating to Eayikes cause, to all the texts of encouragement, the giving of time and talent, as well as the wisdom and expertise freely dispensed and shared with us on the regular, Thank YOU!!! To have that support from family, friends, and all the good folks that connect and vibe with Eayikes is pretty priceless. That support and love gave us the opportunity to make Eayikes Communitaaaay! happen, and its important to us to recognize that and give our thanks to you! So thank you and check out a glimpse into the weekend at Communitaaaay! We tried to build community throughout the weekend, with an emphasis on empathy, collaboration, and acceptance of each other and self. The fact that we all came together and bonded at the level we did having different cultures, backgrounds, socioeconomic statuses, education levels, with an age range from 14 - 32, was pretty cool, but the best part of it all was the fact that these factors were never issues, rather they were the unique aspects of every person that we celebrated in each other. By the end of the weekend, we had learned each other’s personal stories, we had empowered each other to take a leap in uncomfortable moments, we worked in teams, we solved challenges, and most of all we connected as people in our most simplest form, giving love, trust, support, encouragement, and childlike wonder to each other. Special thanks to you Mark Batstone for putting this together! You filmed the whole weekend, while still being a killer Guild leader, and staffer! Your artistry, your eye, and your ability to capture the energy and vibe is straight genius!
