When the doors opened on Oct 20, 2018, Eastside Community Center became a space for kids & adults to learn and grow, and for the neighborhood to gather and thrive thanks to @ShalisaHayes and many others! Check it out for yourself and #ExperienceEastside bit.ly/3D8ZmtY

Five years ago I wrote about the push to make the Eastside Community Center a reality, and Shalisa Hayes, the grieving mother leading the charge. Today I wrote about a statue of her son, Billy Ray, finally being unveiled at the center. amp.thenewstribune.com/news/…

In 2011, Shalisa Hayes lost her 17-year-old son to gun violence. In the midst of her grief, she remembered a conversation she’d had with her son about six months before he was killed. Watch to see how one mom used her loss to realize her son’s vision. bit.ly/307meV7

The parade is a separate event, it starts at 10 at Salishan and ends at the Eastside front doors just before the ribbon cutting. Here's a link facebook.com/events/18594949…
