HI FRIENDS,Happy snow day! It might not be quite the big blizzard we were expecting, but it’s still putting us very much in wintry worship mode. Perhaps that has something to do with hanging our latest Gallery show, “Winter in the Whites”, which opens Friday!
This week, registrations for our online class are pouring in. Don’t worry; we’ve still got plenty of open spots and we’re hoping for plentiful sign ups! Visit the “Classes & Events” page on our website for full class descriptions, and take advantage of your WREN member benefits today.
We are also working on pulling together a new page on our website for WREN members with service-based businesses, and are getting over the moon excited for the Outstanding Women in Business Awards next week. Keep scrolling to find out all of the details!
