Strong communities are built on strong relationships. In a town like ours, where everyone’s paths cross daily, how we connect with one another matters more than ever.
Join us with Dr. Celina Peerman for an evening of encouragement, insight, and community connection. Drawing from her own leadership journey, Celina will share stories and lessons about what it means to lead, to belong, and to build bridges—inside our community and beyond.
This one-hour inspirational speaking engagement is designed to empower, encourage, and enlighten. You’ll leave with fresh perspective on:
• Why relationships are the foundation of leadership and community life
• How to strengthen connections in your everyday circles—family, work, and neighborhood
• Practical ways to support and uplift each other, especially in small communities
Whether you’ve been part of Tripoli for generations or just arrived, this evening is about celebrating what makes our community strong—each other.
