REACHING FOR THE STARS

WREN is reaching for the stars as we celebrate 30 years! Our goal is to raise $30,000 by the end of September, our anniversary month. 

WREN has received significant grant funding for major improvements to our building and grounds. In order to do these renovations, and to maintain and expand the programs we offer, we need your support. Together, we can continue to enrich our North Country community. Join us in reaching for the stars! 

Join the celebration! With every donation of $100 or more, you will receive 2 tickets to our 30th Anniversary Hoedown on September 5th!
