Is it just me, or has January been waaaaay longer than anticipated? The shoveling, the blowing snow and of course the colder than usual deep freeze! If you're feeling the same way, I've got a solution for you...Try out one of the WRRC's winter programs! We have so much going on right now, there is bound to be something that will get you feeling great (and forgeting about the freezing cold temperatures). You will notice in this newsletter that there are several community events coming up this month as well. Keep reading to check it all out!
Enjoy the last parts of winter!
