Tobias's 6th Birthday
You are all cordially invited to join us in celebration of our community friend Tobias. He will be turning 6 and loves Hot Wheels! There will be music, food, karaoke, and friends! This is a FREE event and is open to the public! Help us bridge communities with love and laughter! Remember, many people who have special needs or live with disabilities never get the opportunity to be invited to parties or make many friends. We invite you to come connect with our amazing special needs and disabled community — because inclusion starts with simple moments shared together!
