This Friday Dot 2 Dot Cafe will host an Open Mic Night. All are invited to express themselves, whether it be by song, poetry, humour, spoken word. To share in a community – to break bread with your brother be he black, white, yellow or red, gay or straight, young or old. To take some time to find out who it is you live amongst and identify yourself as part of a community that cares about its people, cares about its children.
"Together we can welcome in 2013 and make a positive choice to look out for our fellow men or women, to treat others as we would like to be treated, to be sure in our hearts that, right now, we can begin to make a difference."
OPEN MIC – FRIDAY JANUARY 4TH FROM 6PM.
