We tried to wait it out but with the reports of flooding and more rain on the way, we felt postponing this event was best to keep everyone safe.  We will be hosting open houses monthly so please stay tuned for the next date.
We are truly bummed that we won’t be able to be in community with you today but look forward to connecting soon.
Yours in community,
The PHEI team
