Flint, MI — Communities First, Inc. (CFI) invites area residents to kick off the new year with purpose and creativity at its Community Vision Board Party on Friday, January 9, from 6–8:30 p.m. at the Coolidge Park Apartments gymnasium, located at 3701 Van Buren Ave., Flint, MI 48503.

This free, family-friendly event—proudly sponsored in part by Chase for Business—is designed to help community members set intentions and visualize their goals for 2026 in a welcoming, supportive environment. Attendees will enjoy guided vision board creation with all materials provided, light refreshments, music, and opportunities to connect and share aspirations with neighbors.
