The theme for Parkland’s Black History Month celebration this year is “The Total You: Better Health, Better Connections, Better Lives.” All of their events are free and open to the public. The one exception is a Soul Food lunch on February 15th. Sorry, have to have a Parkland ID for that one. Hooray if that is you! A couple of highlights:
