Felician Village in Manitowoc is joining more than 280 nonprofit, community-based organizations to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Village Movement on February 15th.
This day, known as National Village Day, commemorates the creation of the first “village” in Boston Massachusetts back in 2002.
This year’s celebration will reach the halls of the U.S. Congress with a proclamation in the House of Representatives designating February 15th as National Village Day.
Felician Village at Home members will be invited to join the national virtual celebration as well as a special in-person gathering later that week.
Members will also be encouraged to write letters about their experiences, and the village movement.
Those letters and a variety of Manitowoc County products will be sent to fellow Village to Village Network members, who are a part of SAIL (Sharing Active Independent Lives) in Madison, Wisconsin.
