Dear Friend, 

Thank you for taking the time to receive and review this newsletter. We are grateful to be in community with you. Feel free to share this information with others.

If you have any updates, ideas, and/or concerns, we’d like to hear from you. Email us at wpwp@pitt.edu.

Mark your calendars for Just Desserts on Saturday, December 14th, 5-7 pm. This year, we’re excited to gather at a new location—Lucy Ware’s home—as she hosts us for a warm and festive evening. In years past, we’ve celebrated at CJ’s and then at Laura’s, and we’re thrilled to keep the tradition alive.

Expect a cozy atmosphere with a selection of hors d’oeuvres and desserts. Feel free to bring a favorite treat to share, or simply come to enjoy the spread provided. 

After mingling and snacking, we’ll settle in for an informal read-around—bring a piece of writing to share, or just sit back and listen. Passing is always an option, and the atmosphere will be warm, fun, and relaxed.

Please RSVP to receive Lucy’s address. We can’t wait to reconnect, share stories, and celebrate the season together. See you there!
