Fond Farewell
In April, we said goodbye to Nora McGinnis,
valued PW board member, exhibitions chair, head projector-trouble-shooter, fiber arts instructor and so much more. Off on new learning journeys - Haystack this summer and grad school in fiber arts (Indiana) in the fall. Happily, we were able to tuck a modest PW scholarship in her suitcase. Stay in touch, Nora - we will love seeing where this path leads you.
