| W&L recognizes the immense responsibilities and challenges that come with caring for loved ones while managing work and personal life. That's why we're piloting the W&L Caregivers group to provide a platform for mutual support, resource sharing, and community building. Please join us for a complimentary lunch to discuss how this group can best serve your needs as a caregiver. We'll meet at Napa Thai (side room) on Tuesday, April 30 at noon. Please RSVP for the event and email Andrea Velasquez with any questions. Your input will help shape the group and ensure it meets the needs of our diverse caregiving community. |
