I’m so excited to get to share this podcast episode with you! When Abby Reckard first shared her dream of converting a historic 150-year-old Danish church building into a space for the community, I knew I needed to talk to her on THE MattDanToddcast Podcast. The Lille Bønne Community Living Room is such a beautiful idea for a world that’s desperate…correction…literally dying for connection.
Give it a listen. Then support contribute to the Lille Bønne fundraising campaign. And if you live near Fletcher Place, check them out! They’re still in the construction phase, but have already begun to build a neighborhood community through a series of neighborhood events.
Because this is exactly what Indianapolis needs. It’s what the world needs. Thank you, Abby, for sharing your vision with us.
And while you’re at it, why don’t you go ahead and subscribe to THE MattDanToddcast Podcast on your favorite listening platform? There’s a lot of fun stuff coming up that you really don’t want to miss. It will help all of us in the long run. Thanks!
