Dear Friends,

Autumn is one of our favorite times of the year. The air is crisper, the leaves are vibrant, and it is a time for reflection. There is a certain energy as we analyze year-end data and take stock in all that we have accomplished this past year at WISE. It is a glance backward, grounding us for the future.

We mailed out our fall issue of Highlights a couple of weeks ago sharing news about the past year and also the exciting new WISE programs on the horizon. All of this is possible because of your kind and generous support. For those of you who like to keep in touch with us online, you can read Fall Highlights here.

Warmly, 
As we enter the season of giving, please consider making a donation to WISE.
