Over the course of the weekend, we'll be welcoming members of the WRFI community from 1994 to today. We're beyond thrilled to reunite with students, parents, course instructors, board members, donors, and friends, who have all played critical roles in making WRFI what it is. If you can, please join us for a chance to reconnect with WRFI and celebrate all of the adventures we've had, and the many more we have to come! We will continue sharing updates, but reach out with any questions you have!
