Today’s Visionquest was busy—filled with brainstorming & pizza! We met with Gould Evans & a representative from Youth Core to plan out the rest of this year’s shows. We also celebrated the last day of Charlie, one of the Foundations members who has been part of Hang12 since 2018. A productive Tuesday!
