We have an incredible new resource to share with our spouses. Community Cultivator (https://www.communitycultivator.co) recently launched and supports ALL spouses, including our community. The founder, Tracy, is a Marine spouse with a vast level of experience in the employment industry, military resources, and community connections. We will be sharing more opportunities in the coming months regarding their additional offerings for us and events (both virtual and in-person). With that said, we would like to invite all of our San Diego spouses to the upcoming event next month. Join us and learn about this amazing organization, connect with their Team and our own Susan Hannifin-MacNab, who will be attending on behalf of the Sugar Bear Foundation. Contact Admin@thesugarbearfoundation.org if you would like more information.
