What are the Windows and Mirrors Media Clubs?
Embedded Files
The Windows and Mirrors media clubs are our outreach programs in McPherson County, focusing on bringing attention to us as individuals and connecting us into a stronger community. The window is looking out through various media into other people's perspectives, how they live, think, and walk through our community. The mirror looks back at us, revealing how our own worldview and perspective dictate how we interact with the community around us. The mission of these outreach programs is to show the McPherson community at large how the uniqueness of the individuals that live here can come together to create a stronger bond with each other and ultimately create a stronger, better McPherson County. We invite all to come and enjoy the various windows and Mirrors Media club programs and events, and to challenge the way that you think about the people living in your community.
