There are some great opportunities coming up to serve our community in various ways. Choose the one that sings to your heart, and jump in with both feet. It’s incredibly rewarding to be an active part of making your community stronger.
A big thanks to Donna W., Donna D., and Cheryl for representing WCV at the multi-city Chamber event on the 24th.
