Community meetings ran from Monday through Sunday across Athens & Amesville; today includes a poetry group at the library and recovery support at the Health Department, while upcoming events feature chair yoga, toddler play, veteran support, pancake breakfast and meditation at various local venues.

Athens Porchfest will feature free live music, food trucks, art shows and family activities across neighborhoods from Friday, May 15 until Sunday, May 17.
