This month's snapshots highlight three separate events. Our September 28, 2019 Adventure,
Painting with a Purpose, helped us to raise $337.50 to divide among our four Community Partners.
Saturday, October 19, WIP members and guests enjoyed a tour of the beautiful
St. Joseph's Abbey and Seminary College
located in Benedict, Louisiana, just north of Covington on October 19th. "The Abbey Church and monks' refectory, were designated in 2007 in the National Register of Historic Places properties. In 1946, Abbot Columban Thuis commissioned the Benedictine artist Dom Gregory de Wit to execute a series of original murals in these buildings. "(1)
Thursday night, October 24 was the signature event for our Community Partner "
You Night
." Members were in the audience to support our own
Heidi Rhea
and celebrate several brave women who demonstrated poise, beauty and strength on the glamorous runway.
