The Sunday morning On Common Grounds kicks off on Dec. 9 at The Contemporary Art Exchange, 127 E. Main St. in Washington. The Red Cross of Eastern North Carolina is the featured non-profit and all donations will go to support their many critical missions. On Common Grounds co-sponsor Pamlico Rose and their CEO Rob Greene-Sands and board member Alli Greene-Sands, will be joined by Red Cross’s Cyndi Brown, to serve as baristas from 7 am to Noon. Come enjoy coffee, conversation and also support a meaningful mission to support our communities in need. On Common Grounds thanks Grubb Brothers, Secret Garden, the Red Cross and Thrivent for their support and donations to support this community-building experience as we prepare for our opening.
