We had an amazing time spending the afternoon with many of our current and lifetime members, in celebration of our Patronesses. Cathy Briggs, our current Education and Arrangements board chair, led us in a Paint and Sip of terracotta pots! It was a wonderful time to socialize and create space for making art.

We also had the pleasure of giving a soft debut of our revamped and dearly loved JWA Cookbook: Simple Pleasures, A Second Helping. More to come soon on public availability!
