UWSAW Out & About

We ran into Spider-man while attending the African-American Heritage & Multicultural Festival, at Gypsy Hill Park in Staunton, on September 16. Spider-man showed his love for UWSAW with our LIVE UNITED t-shirt!

Jessica and Maria hosted a table during day two of the African-American Heritage & Multicultural Festival on September 17. They caught the fashion show too from their table!

Deirdre attended Bridging Connections: A Disability Resource Fair, at Best Western Plus in Waynesboro, on September 19. Around 20 local nonprofits attended the fair which was hosted by The Arc of Augusta.

Dobby stopped by our table to help us sell socks during the Queen City Mischief & Magic Festival, in Staunton, on September 23.

A spell has been cast to sell more socks! Day two of the Queen City Mischief & Magic Festival on September 24.
