WISE Annual Meeting: A Strong Start to the Summer Session

We had an impressive turnout at yesterday's Annual Membership Meeting with over 70 attendees. A good time was had by all, a new Council At-Large member was voted in, and next year's budget was approved. In addition to the business of WISE, the Director recognized everyone who makes our community so special, from our volunteers to instructors, class hosts, clubs, and committee leaders.

Monday, June 1, marks the start of summer session classes.

There is still room in all classes; pick a topic that sparks your interest and join us for a lesson or two either on campus or over Zoom.
