Recent Events

Sip and Shop at Locally Crafted. WTBA held this fun event at Locally Crafted, a store in Rio that features artwork from local crafters. We browsed the aisles of interesting and unique works of art while sipping wine and catching up with old and new friends. Thank you Jeanne Kahn for organizing this event and to the store owners, Stacey Hammer and Heather Luxenberg, for keeping the store open later and donating 10% of all sales to WTBA.

 

 
I Support the Girls. This is a non-profit organization that collects new and gently used bras and new menstrual products for distribution to homeless people. Earlier this month, WTBA had the opportunity to volunteer at their Rockville warehouse. We helped by counting donations of bras and personal care products in preparation for an audit. This will be an ongoing social action project. Please check our e-blasts for more information. Thank you to Judi Rosenzweig for organizing this mitzvah.
