“Get to Know Griot” Open House
Come join us on Thursday, August 22nd from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. for our first ever Open House!
278 Sunflower Ave., downtown Clarksdale.
There will be light snacks, entertainment, and great people. This event will also feature a raffle for a FREE Griot tshirt (tickets complimentary upon arrival) and a second raffle for a tshirt AND Meraki gift card (tickets will be available for $2 each).
At the same time, we will also have a representative at Higgins Middle School with information and Meraki coffee samples. If you see her, make sure to stop by here after!
This event will be open to ALL community members and will be an exciting opportunity to get to Griot better as an organization, and to also get to know the people who make it possible. This will be an opportunity to ask questions, meet staff/teachers/students/other community members, see the space, get help applying, and learn how to GET INVOLVED!!!
