WRED: Coffee with Colleagues: |
|
Has the pandemic left you missing networking? Come join your WSRA friends on Friday, February 26th, from 9-10 AM, for a coffee networking get together! This will be a great opportunity to close the week out sipping on your morning beverage of choice, while catching up with colleagues and friends. There will be some fun (non-work related..) ice breakers, discussion around single use items and the pandemic, and if you’re worried about a Zoom call being too difficult to talk or share, we’ll have breakout rooms if enough join so that everyone can participate! Whether you can join for the whole hour, or have 15 minutes free to drop in and say hi, we’re looking forward to catching up with all of you. This is an informal chance to say hello to friends and meet some new people. Register now to add it to your calendar, and receive the Zoom information! |

Do you ask, “What do I do with shredded paper?”
Do you ponder, “Why can’t I put shredded paper in the recycling cart?”
Do you puzzle, “What do shredding companies do with shredded paper?”
These questions and more will be answered on Wednesday, March 3rd from 9:30 -11:00 a.m. at WRED’s shred event!
Coinciding with National Consumer Protection week and tax season, the Attorney General’s office will present on which documents should be shredded and common misconceptions about sensitive material.

WSRA's ability to connect, educate, and support our members is funded by memberships, sponsorships, and special events. Similar to many non-profits, COVID-19 has forced us to cancel our in-person events for the foreseeable future. This has drastically impacted our operating budget. In order to continue our mission in education and outreach, we need your support now more than ever.
We would greatly appreciate any contribution to help continue our programming.
