❤️ SPEAKER SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: CHRIS WATHEN ❤️

We’re excited to spotlight Chris Wathen, owner of and our speaker sponsor for the October ABWA NRV Express Network luncheon!

A retired New Jersey teacher of nearly 30 years, Chris and her family fell in love with the New River Valley while visiting their daughter at Virginia Tech’s veterinary school. But there was one thing Chris knew the NRV needed: Playa Bowls!

After being obsessed with Playa Bowls herself, Chris brought the healthy, delicious bowls and smoothies she loves to our community so we could enjoy them too. 🌴🥭

We’re grateful to Chris for supporting ABWA and for bringing a little more color, freshness, and Playa love to the NRV! 🌴 Stop by Playa Bowls Blacksburg, VA and see what all the obsession is about!
