20 years of Comunidad Connect. In 1998, Jon Thompson traveled through Central America and arrived in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. He had no idea the community would become a second home, where he would build lifelong friendships and eventually co-found Comunidad Connect in 2007. Those early relationships helped shape what Comunidad Connect would become: a gathering of people to support locally identified needs and work alongside communities to create lasting impact. From environmental awareness, youth sports and clean water to community health, sanitation and housing, the work has grown over the years. But the idea at the heart of it remains the same: MEANINGFUL CHANGE HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE COME TOGETHER FOR A COMMON CAUSE. On November 21, we're celebrating 20 years of connections with people who share our mission to alleviate poverty in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic...and to welcome new friends who will catapult us into the next two decades. Join us at The Avon Theater in Avondale Estates for a night of live music with Eddie Kesler & 3/4 Time and Spaghetti Junction: A celebration of the people that make our impact possible.
