On Tuesday, September 17th, over 50 people came out to Protagonist LoSo for our Environmental Social & Networking Event! For our first in-person meeting since the pandemic, our program included an overview of CMCL, our committees, and ways to get involved. Also, each organizational member who was able to attend provided a brief overview of their mission, current projects, and ways to get involved.
