“We are so excited to be able to showcase our clubhouse’s artwork in this special event,” said Suzanne Lee, team leader at BMHSUS. “This is a free community-awareness event which will help in recognizing that mental wellness is as important as physical and spiritual wellness for our citizens and in creating healthy communities.”
