Board members will also be in attendance to welcome guests.
According to YWCA Executive Director Tammy Stampfli, “Our Annual Meeting and Open House Picnic is a wonderful opportunity for our community to learn about our programs which empower women, girls and families. The “In Their Shoes” stories we will share will inspire.”
The event is open to the public and will also feature tours of the historic Kearney House, which recently underwent significant renovation, the Other Bank, and Kathleen’s Clubhouse. A free picnic dinner will be offered and all are welcomed.
