Cinematique

Fostering Community and Connection

Essex Community Outreach Corporation, working in collaboration with sponsors and resource providers, will host Cinematique: Fostering Community and Connection -- a resource fair and movie event, for its 13th year, for foster and underserved youth and their families.
