Karen Schofield-Leca will share a bit of WES history of staff- and member-leadership, and highlight ways that we each can help to make WES the vibrant community we desire. Adam Briskin-Limehouse will officiate and Perry Beider will provide themed music. We’ll also hear from our college-bound teens Levi Leca, Robin Pfeifer, and Teagan Nam and give them a celebratory send-off. We’ll end with a volunteer fair where you can learn more about opportunities and sign up to join teams of interest. And there will be cake!
