In my daily travels to and from events, I have the opportunity to meet people, organizations, and companies on the ride or the journey. Whether it be by circumstance or coincidence, I often learn about more great things going on in the community beyond my current view. I had the great fortune of meeting an individual representing G Road Organization. Because their focus is on empowerment of young people, I have a soft place in my heart for these type of supporting organizations. This Thursday (11/29) and Friday (11/30), they are holding a Poetry Program Event. The details are shared below.Event: Phonetic Spit's City Wide Slam is Thursday and Friday at the Mesa Arts Center. Thursday are the Preliminary Bouts that begin at 5:30 pm. Friday is the Final Stage Championship beginning at 5:15 pm.
