What’s on your organization’s summer schedule?

The Icon invites local organizations to send summer event details for posting.

“As a result of the covid-19 pandemic, nearly every area annual event was cancelled in 2020,” said Fred Steiner of the Icon.

“We are seeing a reemergence of many of these events and activities that are open to the public and we want to help your group spread the word,” he said.

The Icon is interested in posting any event open to the community, or special events such as class reunions, planned in June, July and August.
