Union Block Book Club: The Anxious Generation

The Union Block Funders (Black Hawk County Gaming Association, McElroy Trust, Otto Schoitz Foundation and the Waterloo Community Foundation) are excited to invite you to participate in a learning opportunity with us.  The mental health of young people has become a growing concern in recent years, and we hope to provide time and space to explore this topic together.
