Byron Hayes will be back in the Urban Foundation booth at Annual Conference this year. Please stop by and visit with Byron, and let him tell you stories of Urban Foundation's past. Or tell us your own! This year, Byron will be joined by Kid City staff and kids, who will be ready to record oral histories. If you've been an Urban Foundation grantee, donor, or friend, please stop in and tell us your story. We'll also have the usual delicious ice-cold aqua fresca (lemonade) to cool you down in the hot Redlands sun.

(Above, Alexis Chavez, Kwesi Essilfie, and Saul Nolasco. Saul will be back this year too for his third annual conference!) 

Annual Conference is the yearly gathering of United Methodist churches in Southern California and Hawaii. As a United Methodist affiliated organization, the Urban Foundation and Kid City are proud to represent our work and the work of the downtown Los Angeles area churches. We'll have information on other downtown affiliates - including the Los Angeles United Methodist Museum of Social Justice, and we welcome visitors!

Annual conference is June 18-20 at University of Redlands. See you there!
