Spring has finally sprung and warmer days are finally upon us! Over the past few months, we've been keeping busy and now we're excited to share some updates on everything we have going on in 2023! |
|
There's a changing of the guard, but it’s all in the family. |
We'll be recognizing some outgoing members at our annual meeting in June including Nick Kleimola, Brian Keefe, Addie Drolette, and Deb Levy. We thank these members for their service and commitment to Wings! We'd also like to welcome some new faces to the board including Thomas Bushy, Lydia Talbot, Peter Allenby, Nicole DeiCicchi, and Maria Zuniga. Learn more about our newest members by visiting our website today!
Wings for Falmouth Families exists because of the dedication of our volunteer Board of Directors and strong support from the Falmouth community. For information on how you can help – through volunteering, sponsoring an event, etc., please contact Nancy Thrasher at info@WingsforFalmouth.org.
