In April, IWS members and past supporters will receive an email invitation for the Celebration Reception on Sunday, June 7, at 4:00- 6:00 PM in the Aspen room at the Riverside Hotel. You will be asked to RSVP and send a $10 deposit for each guest to complete your registration. The deposits will be fully refunded when you check in at the Riverside event. Members can choose to destroy their check or donate the check to the IWS Foundation.
Light refreshments and a no host bar will be available during the reception. The event will be an opportunity to celebrate our organization, recognize supporters, take a trip down memory lane, and renew old friendships.
The Founder’s Art Show will feature artists who were early organizers, leaders, and mentors from across the state. Paintings will hang on the north wall of the ballroom. The Founder’s Show will be exhibited during the IWS Annual Show. The Founder’s Art Show will be an impressive and beautiful display.
