According to the website, “Vision board events have been used as a means for an individual to consider their goals and begin to lay them out for them to see.”

Poster boards, glue sticks and scissors will be provided free of charge for in-person participants. Some magazines will be available as well.

Magazine donations for the event are being accepted through Jan. 14 at two locations.
