The event is free and open to the public. Members of non-profits, HOA’s, community organizations, church and civic groups, etc., are encouraged to attend. Light refreshments will be served. Guests are asked to RSVP at rsvp@caabj.com. Free parking is available at Seventh Street Station (bring your ticket into the museum to be validated).
