SUMMARY:Jubilee at GROW
DESCRIPTION:For years\, the SC Progressive Network has participated in Columbia’s Jubilee Festival because we support its mission and the event happens in our neighborhood. We open up our building to visitors\, and some years brave the heat to table outside to promote our projects and the Modjeska Simkins School. \nThis year\, one of the founders of the 40-year-old festival will lead a program at GROW\, our headquarters at 1340 Elmwood Ave. in Columbia. The program is free and open to the public.
