Dear Friends,
All of us at NCBI hope that you had a fulfilling (and filling!) Thanksgiving. We are thankful to you for your continued support of NCBI Diversity & Inclusion, Cultural Competency and Conflict Resolution programs in our schools and community organizations. There has been some exciting growth at NCBI over the last year. This newsletter can catch you up on the many goings on. We encourage you to pass it on to others who might be interested. We also hope you’ll visit our Facebook page (NCBIMontereyCounty) and post about what’s been going on in your lives as well! May you enjoy the holidays and various cultural celebrations. Warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for health, peace and hope in the New Year.
