What’s going down in Crown Town? A lot! It’s waaaaaaaaaaaay too much to fit in one article, so we decided to narrow it down to 12 of our favorite events happening over the next few weeks in the Queen City. You know how the saying goes: Charlotte’s got a lot… of events! Enjoy!

Apparo’s Nonprofit Bytes + Insights Webinar
“Intro to Inclusive Web Design”
March 20 at 9:30am

Apparo is a self-described “nonprofit for nonprofits” that helps organizations address that scary T-word: technology. Their goal is to help local nonprofits have greater access to and understanding of technology. They believe that a better understanding of technology leads to greater organizational reach which in turn creates a bigger impact on the community.

On March 20, Apparo is hosting an “Intro to Inclusive Web Design” webinar focusing on ways to make your nonprofit’s website inclusive to the widest audience possible. Learn how to expand your reach and include everyone in the conversation.

The generous team at Apparo has extended a very special offer to readers of The Biscuit. You can attend their educational webinar for FREE by using the code CREATIVECLT when you sign up. Register here!

On March 13 and 14, conductor Christopher James Lees will lead the Charlotte Symphony as they play the gorgeous John Williams score live alongside a screening of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. And because we knew they were strong with the force… we asked members of the Symphony to prepare us for the spectacle by doing impersonations of their favorite characters from the Star Wars series.
