The Bulloch County Beloved Community Steering Committee is inviting everybody to the kickoff Saturday of a new "Bridging the Gap" series of events aimed at creating understanding and inclusion across differences and "beyond the Blue Mile." With games designed to get people better acquainted and food for snacking donated by local restaurants, the kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. till 4 p.m. in the Honey Bowen Building community room at Fair Road Park. It's free, but organizers ask that anyone planning to attend let them know through the event posting on the group's Facebook page or by emailing BullochBelovedCommunity@gmail.com.
