What a creative and meaningful evening!

Last night, our members and guests gathered at The New Children's Museum for The Layers We Lead With. Through a hands-on art activity, we had the opportunity to reflect, express ourselves, and learn more about one another.

Thank you to our partner and in-kind sponsor, The New Children's Museum, for welcoming us into your space and guiding us through the experience.

We are also grateful to our in-kind sponsor, Sissy's Sourdough, for creating the gorgeous sourdough tower and charcuterie boats. They were just as delicious as they were beautiful!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening filled with creativity, conversation, and connection.

Cheers to new connections!

Yesterday, we gathered at Embolden Beer Company for our first New Member Happy Hour of the year. It was wonderful to see new members getting to know one another, connecting with longtime members, and learning more about the many ways to get involved with SDWF.

A special thank you to our in-kind sponsor, Embolden Beer Co., for helping us create such a warm and welcoming evening. As a local, woman co-founded business built around community and inclusivity, Embolden was the perfect place to bring our members together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped welcome the newest members of our community. We look forward to many more conversations and connections throughout the year!
